Hi, I just received my SB2 *today* and am really loving it so far. Well, I'm about to go to bed and normally at night I put my computer in sleep mode to save power. It won't stay asleep any more! As soon as I put it to sleep it wakes right back up. Before getting my SB2 I had been doing this for a couple months.
I've had a laptop on the network which is able to share printers and files with my desktop which is where Slim Server is installed. On the desktop I went into the device manager and I enabled the "Allow this device to bring the computer out of standby" option in the Power Management tab for the ethernet chip. This has worked really well in the past. For example if my desktop is asleep and I try to open a shared file from the laptop then the desktop will wake up and the laptop can access the file. I would love to see some kind of option for the SB2 to stop sending network traffic when it is in standby. I saw a post about pressing the left arrow but that's a real pain. I know I'll forget to do this and have to go back down to the basement later on... For now I'm going to just turn off Slim Server, put my desktop to sleep, and then go to sleep myself! If someone can come up with a better fix though it would be much appreciated!
