My machine is an HTPC and file-server combined. I run it 24/7 and lately I've been running low on cash so I'm trying hard to keep my elec. bill low.
I have WOL set up correctly in BIOS (PME is enabled).
MY GOAL IS TO HAVE THE PC COME OUT OF STANDBY WHEN I TRY ACCESSING FILES ON IT OVER MY LAN
I read a tut on how to set up WOL within windows with my network adapter so that I can still use it as a file-server... where the machine should come out of standby and turn on when I want to access files on it.
Well, it's not working, but the problem is that I CANNOT DISABLE this option:
"Only allow management stations to bring the computer out of standby."
(please see attached image)
I can disable it and hit OK, but when I reboot and come back to check the status of that option, the box is checked again, meaning it was never actually disabled. Do you guys think this has to do with LOGMEIN? I'm using logmein with the WOL feature of it enabled.
Thanks in advance.
