Forum:Waking up my sleeping server

Hi I've got a server with audio and video files. After a couple of minutes, it's going into sleep. (If yo do not use it switch it off) However the screenplay can not wake up my server. I have to start a PC and the server is waking up.

My question is can the screenpaly do a ping or send a magic package to my server. 1) a ping or magic package during boot will do, better is: 2) a ping/magicpackage the moment I select 'network' in the menu.

Thanks

Well, I don't think the SPP will ping. But there is a way to configure your server to not go to sleep when there is network traffic. Depending on the kind of server you have, I am sure googling the type of server with key work No sleep with network traffic will get some search results or if it a Microsoft Home or other MS server then goto www.microsoft.com/technet/ and do a search for server sleep options. Hope this helps.
