I had a PC with Windows Server 2003 installed; it was used as file/movies server at home. I was able to wake it up from a different PC (running Windows 7) just by running Remote Desktop and connecting to the server.
When I upgraded the server to Windows 7 Ultimate, I lost the ability to wake it up with Remote Desktop on the client end. The hardware and BIOS settings are exactly the same.
These were/are my 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
How can I restore the previous behavior? I really want to be able to wake the server up using Remote Desktop.

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 – 2010-06-25T22:42:52.970
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 – 2010-06-25T23:10:56.520
