shame it didn't work.. Alternatively you may try to install the gotomypc on a very light pc (i.e. single-core) and from there 'wake up' the file server and grab your files from there. As I said in my earlier post I didn't try the method shown in the article however I would think there'd be another way of sending the 'magic packet' to wake up the pc.

Try that: http://www.remotewakeup.com/en/index.php

It may work (make sure to add a rule to your firewall/router to forward packets on port 9 to your pc & ensure your pc is configure to wake-on-lan).
