My computer stays on during the day but goes into standby. When I try to connect using MyHouse Online, it says "waiting for system ......" Is there a way to "wake-up" my computer so I can use MyHouse? Or is there a suggested setup for XP power functions so that it keeps the NIC card/internet connection live?
Thanks
It's in the power settings in the Control Panel. Set it to "Always On" to eliminate it going to "sleep". My main system is on 24/7, I just turn the monitor off at night. I usually reboot once a week or more often if Microsoft delivers an update or a new program is installed that requires a reboot.

Click your start button, and select
Control PanelIn Control Panel select
Power OptionsIn the pop-up panel ...under
Power Schemes Tab...in the drop down box select
Aways OnThen click the
Advanced Tab and make sure all options there are
Do Nothing.
Then, of course you will want to
turn off your screen saver, and leave you monitor OFF when your not at the PC.
