[QUOTE="MasterMarc, post: 243210, member: 52678"] Hi, I have improved this a little bit on the client-side: First you need to install "hibernate trigger" (can be easily found with google) then put wakeup.exe and the wait.exe into C:\windows (C:\WINXP etc) Then make two .bat -files in C:\ : wake.bat [CODE] @ECHO OFF ECHO Starting server - please wait... wakeup mac-adress (without - or :) SET NetShareName=\\servername\sharename :warten wait 1 IF NOT EXIST %NetShareName% GOTO warten net use %NetShareName% /delete net use Z: /delete net use Z: \\servername\sharename ECHO Server ready - Starting MediaPortal... cd "C:\Programme\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\" start MediaPortal.exe exit [/CODE] and sleep.bat [CODE] taskkill /im MediaPortal.exe net use Z: /delete [/CODE] Put the paths in hibernate trigger and a link to the wake.bat in the auto-start-menu. Now you have a much faster access (in general, not at the startup) to the files stored in the server directory, because they are connected as a network device (Z:\). IMPORTANT: Do not start MP when the server is off (can cause crashes), so always start it via the wake.bat (if you like, you can link it to the desktop). Greetz Marc [/QUOTE]
