Wake on lan - Standby problem

Recommended Posts

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”.

So my question is; does anyone know if there is a way to reconfigure this time period?

Many thanks for any help

Cliff
