| Suppose we have several WinXP Pro computers hooked up via
an Ethernet hub in
| a MS workgroup with full file and printer sharing enabled.
Then each
| computer can see the others. But suppose one of the
computers goes into
| standby. Then it "disappears" from the view of the
others.
|
| Is there a way to set each computer so that if it is in
standby, it can be
| seen by the others and "awakened" if a request to access
one of its files is
| made by another computer?
