Most consumer grade boards that I've seen have this connector. Don't know about server boards.
You could download the AMD magicpacket utility and try that.

I have seen instructions for newer consumer MB that have options in the bios for wake-on-lan regarding what triggers a wake-up. Also Power-on-by-PCI-device may have an effect.
Thank you for the reply.
Maybe I just haven't looked for the connector? It's always just worked for me. Anyway, I understand there are different "states" of power management, hibernate, suspend, standby, sleep, etc. and they are all a bit different. I am only talking about "standby". For example, I have computers that go into "standby" after fifteen minutes - the monitor shuts off, the fan shuts off and the whole thing looks dead. If I connect using VNC I can watch (and hear) the unit come back to life. When I disconnect the VNC session it goes back into standby again in fifteen minutes.
The odd thing about my situation is that I have many computers with the same software installed and they all work like this. However, the HP dc7600 fails in this capacity.
As an update to this post, I have removed all power management (BIOS, NIC) except for the OS settings on the misbehaving systems. Now they work but not correctly. They don't come to life right away, but after two or three attempts to connect they finally do allow a terminal session, their shares become available and I am able to ping them and see them on the network. - BUT - When you walk over to them, after forcing them back to life remotely, if you hit the space bar, toggle the escape key etc., they do not respond and the only way to access them locally is to push and hold in the power switch for ten seconds?
So, as you can see this is a very frustrating issue!
It must be something with this hardware and how it interacts with XP.
I'm ready to blame windows for everything and move on!
