Arg. I'm not sure what we can do about this. Squeezebox2 _could_
send WOL packets every 30 seconds or so, but that would prevent the
machine from going back to sleep.
I wonder if there's a registry setting to adjust that 2-minute
timeout...

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 -

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.
