Hello- would appreciate the help. have a dell vostro pc and a duet receiver. The receiver is connected to pc via ethernet cable, and the controller talks directly to the squeezebox (I dont have a wireless router). The pc has a wireless pc card that gets wifi from my neighbors (with permission) which i use to get squeezenetwork, radio, etc., so I don't have a wireless network. Thus, wireless and ethernet are "bridged" via windows vista or else internet radio functions, etc wouldn't work.
In the bios, pc is set to S3 state, in vista I have sleep on, and for network properties on my built-in Intel Gigabit card, I have WOL enabled. When the pc is off or is asleep, the duet receiver light becomes and stays blue. If I use controller to try to "wake" computer from either off or asleep, I can't see how WOL would work since the controller tries to connect to the squeezebox, but can't since pc isn't on or sleeping, thus nothing happens. Only thing that wakes computer from S3 is a keyboard or mouse movement, ande of course nothing sb related can turn pc on. Also, pressing sb blue button does absolutely nothing if pc is off or asleep. Basically nothing on the controller can get pc to wake up since controller itself is trying to connect to squeezebox to no avail. would love your help or anyone else's- I am sure I don't have something set up properly and this would be a killer feature to be able to turn on pc from off or sleep. Perhaps not having a wireless network is not standard setup, but everything works perfectly using the bridging of wireless and wired. To repeat, wireless card on pc is only used to get squeezenetwork related data, and receiver is corded to pc via ethernet. Would appreciate tips / help as I have spent months trying to figure this out.
