Posted August 23, 200717 yr Dear all, in order to save energy, I would like to be able to remotely shutdown / wake on LAN my up-to-date-patched XP Prof SP2 (Dell Optiplex 745) machine. I created a small shortcut to %windir%\system32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState Hibernate to be able to hibernate via remote desktop, and successfully use AquilaTech's WakeOnLan to reboot. However, since sometime/some patch (cannot reproduce what exactly changed) a hibernation leads to an immediate reboot after a random amount of time (usually several minutes). I am sittinng behind several layers of firewalls in a big network (university), so wake-up-signals from "out-in-the-wild" should not be the issue (and that should not be possible without the MAC should it?). I have searched the net for some time now but could not really find a solution Has anyone a hint for me? Thanks in advance Tyler
