Hi Emanuele,<br><br>I dont think that is possible because Wake-On-Lan (WOL) is a hardware based feature. Your motherboard/nic does the handling of the magic packet used for WOL, so there is no OS required. If you shut your nic in your virtual machine (netkit) you simply do not receive any packets. There is no hardware listening to handle the magic packet. In the case of WOL it actually doesn't do anything with the nic, the motherboard just receives the packet and returns itself from standy modus. As far as i know Netkit does not support something like standby modus (Correct me if i am wrong Massimo)<br>

I'd like to know if is it possible to use Wake-On-LAN. I need this function because I don't know how to wake up a virtual machine from another one if I shut down all its network interfaces. Thank you for your help,<br>
