How to use wake on date/time on my pc system? *help*

[dave25]

Hi guys

I want to program my bios in my windows xp/pentium 4 pc system. I want it to program it to start on its own at a specific date/time. I have no idea on how to use the bios on my pc, a step by step guide would be really appreciated from someone who knows how to do this.

thanks in advance

dave

I have just checked the Motherboard Manual for your PC and it doesn't seem to have a " Boot at 'Time' setup".

The closest it gets is 'Wake on LAN' or Wake on MODEM'.

[dave25]

mmm ic - so what does that mean mate?

[LooseChippings]

It means that the system will wake up from 'Suspend Mode' if another PC attempts to connect through a network using a Network Interface Card (NIC) or a phone tries to connect using the MODEM (similar to an answer machine).
