Was wondering if someone had a solution:

I have two VMC machines. One (A) which is set to record all programs to its own hard drive in the living room. The second (B) is in the bedroom, and I want that one to access (A)'s recorded TV. I've gotten the sharing part to work! My question is:

Is there a way for (B) to automatically send a wake-on-lan signal to (A) when I turn (B) on from standby (S3 mode)?

In other words, both (A) and (B) are set to go to S3 sleep mode when they are inactive. When I turn on (B), I'd like it to send a WOL signal to (A) automatically, so that it can then access (A)'s media.

I already have a program and a batch file to send the WOL signal. I just need a way for (B) to know to run this program every time it wakes up. Thoughts?

 I've read that the XBOX 360 can do this as an extender (ie it can wake up the VMC PC when in extender mode) ...
 

I think I heard on Ian's latest show (158), this question is answered at the start of the program (either that or it was read out for people to help with).

I myself have never seen any tools to do this, but it seems like it would be a rudimentary application to write provided it's possible programatically to be notified when S3 is received which I would think it would be. Let me know if you don't find a suitable solution and I'll crack open studio and see if I can get something working for you.
