Vidur and I discussed this problem last night.
I'm considering sending WOL packets every 30 seconds to the connected
server while playing.
I'm also considering sending WOL packets for every Slim Devices
remote IR signal received when on the "Connecting to server..." screen.
Would this work for folks? Are there pitfalls here?

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.
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.
