  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />It scans all your devices on your network (I needed to find a new printers DHCP assigned IP address to configure it) and wakes up and puts to sleep any of them. Has some cool features and the best feature is - it's free! Love it.

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I've been using this software for some time now and it's great. It's not anything amazing or anything but it does wat it promises and it does it well. The Dashboard widget makes it even easier to use. Works fine on my Intel MacBook.

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />imho the primary use for this is to remotely wake up your machines that might be at home or work. For this purpose it worked perfectly! (I should note I did not use the .mac wake-from-internet feature) The sleep function is an interesting thought but this did not work for me (nor could I personally care less, if I can wake it I can vnc in and put it to sleep myself if for some reason the energy saver settings weren't set) Thanks for making a Wake on LAN app with a great interface!

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />There are a few basic issues. For example you can try to put your computer to sleep. I don't think your computer should even be in the list. If you click the button when it is selected you crash. It does what it says though. The bug was fixed, I don't like how I have to have eppc access to put a computer to sleep, but as long as I have the Wake feature without the password I don't care.
