Re: Remote powerup
Some ASUS motherboards have automatic power up at set times...Have you checked if there is anything in the BIOS?

With regards WOL (Wake on Lan) it is a special packet that needs to be sent, not too sure how you'll manage this over the net. Alternatively you may find installing a cheap modem with Wake up capabilities may help - unless you get lots of calls through the day?

Best bet is probably the hibernate wakeup software...Or leave the machine on (just switch off the monitor) - I do this and run temperature monitoring software so that if it does start getting a little too warm I shut the PC down. You'll probably find the plugs on the router and modem are warmer than the PC though!
