PC 1: HTPC
PC 2: Office Desktop
Mission: To leave HTPC 'on' 24/7, allow it to idle to S3 (suspend to ram) when not in use, but also allow it to WOL (wake on lan) via a magic packet request from the Office Desktop so I can transfer files to it when needed.
Accomplishments so far:
1) HTPC successfully idles to S3 when it's the only computer that's been turned on (Office Desktop is off)
2) Office Desktop can successfully WOL the HTPC
Issue:
Once I've WOL'd into the HTPC, the HTPC will not idle back to S3. It'll turn off the display, the the fans are still running.
I'm guessing I need the HTPC to someone realize that even though there is a connection between the HTPC and the Desktop, that connection can be severed as it is no longer needed.
Is there a way for the HTPC to 'time out' or have I not setup something correctly?
I guess my last resort is to figure out a way to "SOL", send a Sleep request over the LAN to the HTPC to put it back to sleep after I've WOL'd it???
TIA (Thanks in Advance!!! :woot: )
