Main Program
All operations the software brings are realized from the main program.
The utilities to turn on a remote PC are in the main program dialog. By writing a valid
IP and pressing Get MAC, if the remote PC is on at that moment the MAC Address
will be obtained and stored in the cache, to be used in the future. If the inserted IP is not
disponible at that moment, the program will try to figure out by looking it at the cache.
In the field password should be inserted, if needed, the password for the remote power
on.
In the utilities frame there are two tools, one that checks for the state of a remote host
from his IP Address or Host name. At the bottom, there is a list of the available
adaptators and their matching MAC Addresses.

To turn on a remote PC, you only need to use the MAC Address, other fields are only
needed to figure out that address, and the password field should only be used if needed.
You should then press Turn on PC and a progress dialog will be shown, notifying if
the operation was successful.
