Hi,

I want to wake my MacPro via Wake on Lan when its turned off.
Is this possible or is this only possible when my MacPro is in sleep-mode?

Thanks :)
 
No any other way?
Because my windows pc can also be waked up if its turned off.

Last I checked, Wake on LAN only works on the Mac Pro over wired Ethernet connection and from sleep mode. Your PC can wake on LAN from power off because it has a BIOS setting that allows it to so do. To the best of my knowledge there is no equivalent feature in the Mac EFI.

Thank you. So must not turn off my Mac :(

Or design a remote controlled finger that automates the Mac Pro power button :D
