I am trying to enable my Computer to come out of standby when it receives packets through network card to no avail.
I started by enabling all the bios settings then I changed the jumpers on the motherboard to allow USB device wakeup and keyboard power. This enabled me to switch the PC on from the button on the Keyboard and it wakes up from sleep from moving the mouse. Probably an unnecessary step but I am glad I done it. My motherboard supposedly supports WOL/PME my motherboard is a ASUS M2N-E sli.
I suspected the router/wap so I connected a crossover between the laptop and the PC successfully pinged the computer I then put it in standby and then tried to ping it again to no avail. I have the bios in S3 STR mode but have tried S1 and hybrid sleep to. I have tried windows on both hybrid and normal sleep. Iam running vista x64 ultimate. I now have “allow the computer to bring this computer to turn off this device” unticked under network adapter but have tried both settings. I have the latest network adpater driver version 67.7.20
I am probably missing something really basic and you will all laugh at me for being so daft but please Help me and help save the planet..
