Advent 9086 laptop with XP MCE, wirelessly connected to 3Com ADSL
modem/router.
Main PC has Gigabyte GA-K8NSC-939 m/b, using XP Pro/SP2 and all recent
updates. Hard wired to router using ethernet cable.
Am trying to wake the main PC from the laptop.
Have looked here:
http://www.intel.com/support/network/sb/cs-008459.htm
and here:
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/archive/netpm.mspx
but am confused by most of it.
Have enabled PME Event Wake Up in BIOS and enabled "Allow this device to
bring the computer out of standby" in the Properties of the ethernet
controller in Device Manager.
What do I do on the laptop to "wake up" the main PC?
Also which Suspend type in BIOS should I use, S1 or S3? As with the PME
Event, m/b manual just says it's there and doesn't explain what it is.
