Wake up my HTPC (1 Viewer)

[mikebeuler]

Hello,

I have looked everywhere (including this forum) on how to do this...

I have an IBM ThinkPad T43 (XP Pro SP3) that I am using for Media Portal. Everything works great. I use a StreamZap Remote. I have been trying to figure out a way to wake up the PC once I have put it into sleep mode. I have done everything from playing with the Bios and setting the USB ports to stay powered on.

I can currently wake the Laptop by opening the lid and pressing the "FN" (Function Button). My goal is to keep it from being on for too long while still offering a convenient enough solution for my kids and wife to turn on.

I am willing to get a piece of external hardware or another remote.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Mike,

I have a similar issue with my HP6220 laptop with X10 remote on USB dongle. Would very much like to learn how to resolve this.
