Does the Duet have a wired connection to your network? WOL works reliably over the wired network provided your Mac is configured to allow Wake for Network Access in Energy Saver Preferences. The iPhone and iPad definitely fo not have wired access. To wake-up the Mac over the wireless network there needs to be a service Apple call Wake on Demand available. It is supported by Apple's own Airport base stations but needs a reconfiguration of your Mac that as far as I know can only be done from the command line. Once done, it would also mean that your MAc would probably be woken up more often by the base station. In view of the below, let me know if you do want any more details! I doubt very much if the Mac can stream without being fully awake but the screen does not need to be on. jdwek wrote: > Nonnoroger, thanks for your very polite reply to my last thread.

I have moved some of the discussion of sleep issues onto the Developer Forum. I fully inderstand why you would not want to make the changes to the ReallyPreventStandby plugin yourself. It is much more reliable though on Mountain Lion if done that way, I very much hope that the developers will have an update soon that allows room for more penguins. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nonnoroger's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35581 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95980 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
