Does anyone know of a Squeezebox setting to control how long the SB waits for a server to come up after sending WOL packets? I haven't been able to find one myself.
My little 2.5Ghz Celeron box running XP Professional can wake up from hibernation in a little under 30 seconds; but that's not quick enough for my SB2, which fails to connect every time. Retrying the connection via a remote makes the SB2 try again, then it powers itself off. If I then power it up again, it connects immediately. This is a bit of a nuisance as I use a Harmony universal remote, and have to go through a lot of button pushing via its interactive help to coax the SB2 to power up again after failing to connect. The original SB2 remote is safely tucked away in a drawer, otherwise I'd be drowning in high impact plastic and soft rubber buttons :) I can program a button on the remote to toggle the power for me; but I'd really like a simple timeout I can tweak to step around the problem altogether. Optimising the server PC to come to life quicker doesn't seem a likely option, as I'm using hibernation mode so the state of the machine is saved out to disk. I've tried standby mode to see if that's quicker, but it still isn't fast enough. Any help or sympathy much appreciated!
