PC goes to sleep during a copy

Post by John Gray »

Has anyone met the situation when you're sending data from a PC over the LAN to a second PC, and the second PC goes to sleep? (Sending PC is XP Pro 32-bit, and receiving PC is Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, not that it matters).

Is there any obvious solution (other than stopping the receiving PC from going to sleep)?

That's a new one for me, but I never configure my PCs to enter sleep mode.

I haven't found the check box for "Treat data coming through the NIC as representing computer activity for power saving options" (or similar!)
