SleepOver is a wake-on-LAN (WOL) utility for the iPhone and iPod touch, allowing you to remotely wake up a sleeping computer.
Wake-on-LAN works by sending a "magic" network packet to a sleeping computer. If the destination computer supports wake-on-LAN it can listen for these "magic" packets while it is sleeping and wake up automatically if it receives one.

FEATURES:
- Wake a pre-defined host by simply tapping it on the main screen.
- Define as many hosts as you need.
- Configure up to 2 network interfaces for each host, allowing you to wake hosts over a LAN and the Internet.
- Support for hostnames (useful for DynamicDNS).

REQUIREMENTS:
- Target hosts must support wake-on-LAN.
- Target hosts must have wired network connections (it is not possible to wake a wireless computer).
- Wake-on-LAN requires iPhone or iPod touch to have an active Wi-Fi connection.
- Wake-over-Internet requires iPhone or iPod touch to have an active Internet connection (cellular or Wi-Fi).
- Wake-over-Internet will only work if the "magic" packet can reach its destination. Your router must be configured to allow incoming UDP packets on a chosen port to be broadcast over the LAN. Many consumer routers do *not* allow this, therefore please verify your network configuration using an on-line wake-over-Internet service before purchasing SleepOver if wake-over-Internet is important to you.
