Networked Standby Computer Access

[Guest]

When I try to access files on a networked XP computer that is in Standby I
get the error message, Network path not available, File not accessible, or
something to that nature. I know there is a way to access networked
computers that are in Standby but I can't remember how. Computer on Standby
is XP Pro. The other is XP Home.
Help is appreciated.
Thanks,
James

You'd need "Wake on LAN" enabled and have something that could utilize it.

Check the BIOS for any Wake On LAN or similar settings, the devices also
must support it. Some PCI NIC's need a special connector that attaches to
the mobo and the NIC.
