Well, I got a computer working with Wake-on-Lan, and the remote boot is awesome.
However, I would love to be able to remotely shut it down as well, and I was wondering if it was possible to detect a "Magic Packet" and shutdown when it is detected.
I searched around, and only found ONE program that was designed to sniff WOL packets, but it only shows the data, doesn't do anything with it.
I tried using the inbuilt shutdown command, but I always get Access Denied and I'm not sure how to proceed in that way.(If you know how, let me know, this is just as good)
Any help?
(I specified VB.Net, because I code in VB.Net and would like to be able to modify code, or add to it, etc..
