Does anyone know of an application like AMD's Magic Packet, to wake up a PC on a LAN from your Nokia 9500?

There are chips for WLAN that support Wake Up on LAN. eg. http://www.realtek.com.tw/products/products1-2.aspx?modelid=2002111
But anyway, I wasn't talking about waking up another device that is on the wireless network. What I had in mind was something more in the lines of sending the "wake up package" from the N9500 through your router to a hard wired computer on your LAN. It's not only possible to be done but its going to be fairly easy as well if someone has programmed anything on series 80, since the magic package source code is available. Thanks for the reply anyway, if you come across something else let me know. 😊

Sorry for the misunderstanding, if I come across something I'll post it. regards

I thought, if somebody clicked on this thread then they must be interested on the subject, so I am including this link which gives information about the structure of the packet itself. Maybe somebody out there will take the time to convert this source code into a 9500 application. http://pages.towson.edu/aczech/magicpkt/
