[QUOTE="arion_p, post: 620356, member: 45945"] Network Monitor will monitor all network activity on all interfaces. If the average traffic (over a 60 second period) on any interface exceeds the limit set, the system is considered busy and won't suspend. IIRC if the limit is exceeded, the timer will be reset, so system will not suspend immediately after traffic falls under set limit. But note that PowerScheduler will not suspend the system if any of the following is true: [LIST=1] [*]Any remote system has open files on the server (regardless if it is running MP or not). Even WMP will prevent the server from suspending [*]Any recording is active or due. [*]Any MP client (with PowerScheduler client plugin enabled) is active (not necessarily watching video/live tv) [*]Any remote system is consuming a video stream (live tv or recording). E.g. VLC attached to live tv stream [*]Any EPG grabbing component is active and is configured to prevent standby. This includes DVB EPG, XmlTv, WebEPG, TVMovie (ClickFinder). [/LIST] So to answer your question: [B][I]- somebody in remote host opened some shared folder of HTPC[/I][/B] Normally having a share open on a remote system (i.e. having it open in explorer) does not induce any traffic and does not keep any files open. So it is impossible to track this activity. If on the other hand you are browsing a share (meaning you are moving from folder to folder) you are causing network traffic that can be detected. To configure the limit, open Task Manager and go to the Network tab. Monitor for a while the network activity to see the maximum value any interface can reach while system is otherwise idle. Use that value plus a safety margin (I'd say around 30%) as the limit in Network Monitor [I][B]- somebody in remote host is watching movie stored in HTPC[/B][/I] Watching a movie means a file needs to be kept open so no need to configure anything. Watching a recording also consumes a stream, so again you don't need to configure anything. [/QUOTE]
