I want to wake my iMac over Wifi. I have followed all steps described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3774 and it works great: I can wake up my sleeping iMac from my Macbook Pro (in Finder) and also using the Remote.app on my iPhone. Nice! :)

However, it only works if my Mac is not locked. If I'm away from my iMac, I usually set in on the login screen (with my account still being logged in). But then my iMac won't wake up. Why? :confused:

I understand this cannot work when not logged in. But I am! Is this a limitation of the Wake for Network Access feature? I have not found any info on this yet...

thanks
