I think we're miscommunicating. Early, you indicated: oreillymj Wrote: > > Now, since the WMA decoding is done in the SB2, no traffic is generated > from the SB2 to the server I don't believe this is true. Run a packet sniffer and you'll see that there is plenty of network traffic on the 3483 control port. Traffic is constant.
You also mentioned that pings do not keep your system alive after a WOL. This agrees with my point earlier. Pings should not keep the system awake after WoL, because if they did, once a WoL was sent, other system's that might be pinging the target system could keep the system alive indefinitely! In Windows networks, there is constant network activity, such as browser activity (think windows network, not IE), domain server management, WINS activity, etc. Routers, managed switches, etc. can send a lot of directed traffic as well. Windows has to ignore the contstant noise on the network when setting its go-back-to-sleep timer, and only keep the system alive when there meaningful activity. Your ping tests are inconsequential. I was trying to communicate some of the things that Windows considers meaningful activity. What changed in the firmware was not simply an elimination of server <-> SB# network activity. There are other variables here. Personally, I don't not believe that sending an WoL every minute is the right thing to do. -- MrC ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=468 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=17891 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
