Hi all,

I am looking into running my media pc through my Xbox 360 but would like to put the media pc on standby, I would like it to wake up when I try to connect to it through my Xbox 360 and I assume this can be done by the good old WOL, I am pretty sure my motherboard supports this but will it actually work? If so any idea how to go about setting it up,

System specs..
Gigabyte GA-A7M-D2H motherboard
AMD A8 3850 quad core

What say you?
 
Going to transcode my movies from my media pc to my Xbox, through windows 7 media centre using my movies or maybe XBMC just playing around with them both at the moment but do not really want the media pc on all the time but would like it to wake up when trying to access it through the windows media part on the Xbox 360.
 
I dont think this will work. As far as I am aware, XBOX has no means on sending the magic packet needed to signal the machine to wakeup. Normally this is done from a specialist app or piece of code running on a router or similar.
