Question about Stand ByIs it possible to put a Windows XP system into simple Stand By and then have
it be awoken via a network ping? We have two systems that don't need to be accessed more than about 30 minutes per week and would love to put them into a lower power state. But when we need them, it's a real PITA to get to them (in a closet) and wake them. Would love to be able to do that across our LAN. Any ideas...? Rick A. Pleasanton CA if your cmos supports it, the option
to wake on lan setting will be there'' Show quoteHide quote "Rick Altman" <rick.a@NOSPAMaltman.com> wrote in message news:uEJgFcz5GHA.3732@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > Is it possible to put a Windows XP system into simple Stand By and then > have it be awoken via a network ping?

Regular Standby means let the computer run on reduced power. I.e not very economical for 30 min. per week access. If the computer it is compatible with Wake On LAN (WOL), it can be Off, and be started from remote.
