Hi... One caveat upfront is that I'm using a Duet system, not an SB3, but seems like the basics oughta' be the same. I've been playing around with this functionality, too, the past few days. First of all, this phrase from the Wiki is VERY important to understand:
"There is no way to tell Squeezebox to which computer it should send a WoL magic packet. Instead, Squeezebox remembers the MAC address of the last SqueezeCenter host it was connected to and sends the WoL magic packet to this address. The MAC address is learned automatically and cannot be changed manually." Second, the way to enable your Win 7 to sleep and have it still respond to the WOL magic packet is as follows: As Teus de Jong laid out, go to the Device Manager/Network Adapter/Advanced Settings/and make sure you have the Magic Packet configuration enabled for Wake Up. The terminology will vary a bit depending on which NIC card you have. Then go the the Power Mangement tab. Check the box that says "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power". Then, check the boxes that say "allow this device to wake up computer" AND " only allow magic packet to wake up computer". VERY IMPORTANT: Then UNCHECK the box that says "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power. Click "OK". If you don't do this, SBS will not allow your computer to go to sleep....as you've seen, it'll wake up immediately after the sleep command is given. If all goes well, your computer should be able to go to sleep. AND---per the Wiki---if the last thing your SB was connected to was, indeed, your WIN 7 computer, your SB device should be able to wake it up with Magic Packet/WOL command. Keep in mind that it does take a little time for your PC to wake completely up, so you may want to wait 30 seconds or so before you actually try to execute any SB activities from it. If you try to do something immediately after sending the Magic Packet, your SB may still show that it's not seeing your computer. Hope this helps. -- rgro Rick System information ------------------------ Duet SBC running 7.5.1 r9009, an SBR running firmware V 65.
