SYMPTOMS
When a Windows Vista-based computer is in hybrid sleep mode, the Wake On LAN (WOL) functionality may not wake the computer from hybrid sleep. This problem may occur in both wired and wireless network environments.



CAUSE
This problem occurs if the computer does not support WOL functionality while in hibernation.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use a computer that supports the WOL functionality while it is in hibernation.
