Hi all, I am following this discussion for a while because I recently bought a SB myself and I also have problems with standby / wakeup of my server.
To be honest, I don't really like the solution chosen here. Reason: I am using my slimserver computer also as a home server and when one of the computers goes online I want the server to wake up without having to send a magic-packet. Network activity directed to the server's address should be enough. All of this worked fine until I installed the SB because it keeps communicating with the server even when on standby. (as you all know). So now my server won't go into standby mode. Isn't it possible to switch of the SB functionality to keep communicating with the server and have to SB really go into standby mode? I think that would be a much better solution for the problem. In order to find out if it could work I tried the following: -> I have setup my Microsoft Server 2003 to allow wake on network activity. I disabled the administrators wake on lan functionality. The server is setup to go in standby mode after 1 minute of idle time. -> The server goes into standby mode if: a) I switch of the power supply of the SB and b) if I go into network connect mode on the SB (network installation at setup or connect to slimnetwork mode via the menu) -> Turning the SB power back on or selecting my slimserver on the SB wakes the server instantly. And it stays on. The 2 minute shutdown only appears to be happening if the administrator's wake-on-lan is activated. So it could work. I hope it is technically possible. What are your thoughts? Cheers, Reinoud PS: I have read this discussion, another about the standby problem and the error log. Sorry if I missed the one I really needed to read. -- reinoud _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
