Apologies, I haven't been able to post recently.
Dean is correct. Windows is sending the PC back to standby when it should stay awake due to network activity, so this is a Windows bug/limitation. Your issue is different. You seem to be either using wake on link or some other W2k03 feature which bring your pc out of standy when it detects any network traffic directed at it. My own limited testing since my last post have been frustrating. My PC will now sucessfully stay in standby with Wake on Link enabled. I think the previous behaviour I saw (standby/wake/standby/wake) may have been caused by a bug in the NIC driver I was using. I upgraded as part of my recent troubleshooting. Microsoft have closed my call, claiming that the behaviour is down to a bios setting. I'm going to try re-open the call as Windows is not even behaving according to MS's own Kb article. Pings or Network traffic directed at my pc should keep it awake. There are no bios setting's I can see which would cause the behaviour I'm experiencing. -- oreillymj _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
