Thanks for the points.<br />
<br />
PS: You could do the ping timeout trick on a local unused IP address as well, to keep from pinging outside of your LAN.<br />
<br />
Instead of:<br />
ping -n 1 -w 4800 junksite.org<br />
<br />
try<br />
ping -n 1 -w 4800 192.168.1.42 &nbsp;<br />
<br />
assuming your LAN was in the 192.168.1.x block, and .42 was not being used. This ping will not succeed, but will timeout after 4800 ms.<br />
<br />
A tweak that avoid a DNS lookup.

Hi,<br />
<br />
I'm running WOL <a href="http://gammadyne.com/cmdline.htm#wol" rel="ugc">http://gammadyne.com/cmdline.htm#wol</a>&nbsp;to recover Windows Home Server (WHS) from SLEEP-MODE. This works just with a small batch file containing &quot;wol 00141731A812&quot;, where 00141731A812 is the WHS's MAC address.<br />
<br />
Since - on WHS - Lightsout resets the system to SLEEP-MODE after 10min (which is ok), the problem is that I do not want the system to sleep as long as I actively work (moving the mouse, pressing keys, navigating the explorer etc.).<br />
<br />
Of course, if I do nothing for a certain period of time, the system could sleep.<br />
<br />
Any way out?
