Re: Wake-on-LAN
If he doesn't have an Internet connection, how would he connect to anything?
In addition, sharing your Internet connection is against the terms of service for your ISP.

Re: Wake-on-LAN
well what is Wake on Lan? from what i got from it is that you could remotely connect to a computer with internet even if the computer is off. why would you want to use someone elses internet connection if you got your own?
