Thread: hi im new need advice about machine for dl

Hi all im new to the forums my name is shaun my current set up looks like this

dell inspiron 1545 3gb ram intel core duo 2ghz 300hd vista sp2 laptop wireless

advent 7098 500mb ram 1.70ghz processor xp sp3 laptop wired in attic

xbox 1 1.6 soft moded running xbmc front room wired

xbox 1 1.1 soft moded running xbmc bedroom wired

xda orbit pda running windows mobile 6.5 wireless

psp 2000 running custom firmware using pimp streamer to stream movies from advent 7098 wireless

msi router in front room bridged to netgear router in bedroom

wd mybook world edition 1tb nas hdd in attic

basicly i have everything set up on a network all accessing the nas hdd the advent 7098 is in the attic and has no screen but using it as a dowloding machine with utorrent have tried the linux versions but utorrent works well for me and i access the machine through teamviewer i also use the advent to run pimp streamer so i can stream all my movies to my psp i use the dell laptop as the main machine is there a simpler way to do all this as the advent has to be on 24/7 as teamviwer cannot wake a machine from sleep thanks to anybody who take the time to read this shaun

Really? If you set the WOL on (Wake On Lan) in the BIOS of the advent NAS, Team viewer is not able to wake it up?

yes there are some issues they advise that you dissable all sleep shudown functions i also use team viewer from other locations like work ect to check on temp of my server i have it rigged up in the attic with remote fans so if temp gets a bit hot i can turn them on trying to get a tep sensor that reads off the hdd then relays back to the fans i have to admit team viewer is fast alot better that others i have found i was also thinking are there any ways to use the laptop in the attic on the power pack but use the battery in this way laptop uses internal battery till 10 percent then it allows power pack to kick in or would the power pack use the same amout of electric regardles
