[QUOTE="joz, post: 627100, member: 70244"] Besides third party apps there's also a third party plugin called HTPCInfo which can do the job. There are more plugins out here for the same purpose. You could also create something yourself with a batchfile + multishortcut plugin. Depending on your usage scenario you can also dump that same batfile in the startup folder of your main HTPC. Everytime windows boots the fileserver will boot up too. The same thing can be achieved when getting out of standby, although in a different manner. I'm also looking into something decent for my linux based NAS (which is just a desktop actually). Not sure yet on how to approach my problem though; I think I'll be writing a bash script that monitors filelocks and goes to sleep when there are none left (that's the NAS part). What would be ideal (at least for me) that MP will fire off a WOL packet when it can't find/access a share. This should be done in a backgroundworker (so no GUI freezing up) and accessing the share should be retriggered after an X time period. That would be ideal but I think it will not be implemented any time soon, if at all. Should drop a request somewhere. ---EDIT--- Eventghost can also trigger a magic packet.
