Yes, you've discovered Window's go back to sleep in 2 minutes behavior. It can be maddening. Are you finding that it goes back to sleep even though there is network or slimserver activity? It should remain away under such circumstances, but it may be that the KB is referring to activity while logged in and performed by the user. -- MrC _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
