Cliffs Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 I have a music server running XP pro and this is configured to come out of standby when it receives a magic packet from the music controller (Squeezebox 3). This keeps the computer awake while playing music but if it is paused the server goes back to sleep after just 2 minutes. I want to try and configure this to a longer time before the computer goes back to sleep. Windows power management settings (which I have set to 15 min before going to standby) have no effect on the time to standby when the server is woken-on-lan. So the computer being woken by a magic packet seems to start a different clock to a key press.I found article below which has in it: “This behavior occurs because Wake-on-LAN is typically configured to return your computer to standby or hibernation after two minutes of inactivity”.http://support.microsoft.com/kb/810719/en-usSo my question is; does anyone know if there is a way to reconfigure this time period?Many thanks for any helpCliff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
