Wake on Lan

Question

I have a Dimesion 4100 and I've got 2 3com 3c905c-tx network cards in there for ics.  How can i use Wake on Lan?  It's enabled in the bios but it doesn't seem to work.  Is there a place on the motherboard for the WOL cable or is it PCI?  HELP!!

The Dimension 4100 is PCI 2.2-compliant, and does not have a Wake On LAN header, as the WoL flea power is carried over the PCI bus. You must have a PCI 2.2-compliant NIC to utilize the WoL feature of that card, as there will be no flea power to the card if it is only PCI 2.1-compliant.
