I'm seeing an issue here, I've escalated to MS support.

When my PC resumes from standby using the new WOL functionality, it
will only stay on for a minute or 2 unless I touch the KB or mouse. I
believe this is XP related, but it would be good to get some feedback
from the Linux/Mac users on the list.

This MS KB article describes the behaviour I see -
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;810719

The only work-around I can see is a patch from MS to allow Wake-On-Lan
to work the same as any other resume or a change to the NIC driver to
fake a keyboard press.

Otherwise Wake On Lan becomes a bit pointless since I have to walk up
stairs to press a key.
