Can you be a little more specific ? Does a program listen to a wake-up signal, or what ?

No I need to send a wake on lan command using delphi to a "sleeping" computer. There is a whitepaper at Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com/hwdev/specs/PMref/PMnetwork.htm) on the data portion of the packet structure. What I need to know is how to broadcast this packet across the network, thereby (hopefully) waking the computer.
What protocol is being used ?

Any standard protocol can be used, the machines have both tcp/ip and ipx installed.

Are u sure that a program on a sleeping computer (isn't the program "sleeping" too ?) can wake it up ?

I thought it's a hardware-function ..

Due to the problems and some incompatability issues with some network cards the WOL functionality has been dropped from our application.
