I had a NAS-PC with win2003 server loaded, used for file/movies server at home.

I was perfectly able to wake up the NAS from a different PC (my personal one) in my home-lan just running RD on my the remote PC.

Now I installed on the NAS-PC windows 7 Ultimate.

Unfortunately, Now the same remote PC (my personal one) is NOT able anymore to wake-up the NAS-PC running RD as it used to be able to.

The hardware is EXACTLY the same OfCourse and the BIOS settings are the same too.

These were/are my win settings:

WINDOWS: - NIC setup to wakeup the PC - DISABLED "Allow ONLY Magic Packet"

NIC CONFIG: - Accept Magic Packets + Patterns (or something similar) - Shutdown/Restart - Enabled

BIOS: - ACPI 2.0 - enabled - APIC Support - Enabled

This is driving me nut ......

Can you HELP me to troubleshoot this weird problem .... ?

Thanks in advance

Have you tried a different program than remote desktop to send the magic packet to wake the target PC? Maybe there was a setting in RD which you lost new that you (I assume) had to change the connection settings file for RD. – Daisetsu Jun 25 '10 at 22:42
I have tried a little utility called WakeOnLanGui. with this one, I am able to wake up the NAS. The optimum for me would be to STILL be able to wake the NAS JUST using RD as I use to do before with win 2003 server. In the RD settings.... there are no differences. I run RD from my personal PC....so the settings have always been the same. Only the OS on the target NAS has changed. Even the IP address is the same.... – riccardo Jun 25 '10 at 23:10
