Network card doesn't bring out of standby mode

After I installed XP SP2 it the network card activity doesn't bring my
compter back from standby mode and I need this feature for remote desktop
connection before installing SP2 I was able to awake my computer remotely by
remote desktop program that come's with XP. I have proper setting in network
card configuration screen as let this device bring computer back from standby
mode.But it doesn't do that any more.
Thank-you.

"Roham",

I discovered this myself after installing Service Pack 2 within my office.
First, can you actually connect to the remote machine, or does the remote
desktop software say it cannot find the machine?

This problem is likely "by design" and has to do with the firewall settings
on the Network connection are set to block remote access. To undo this:
1. Right-click on My Network Settings
2. Click Properties
3. Right-click on your Network Card
4. Click Properties
5. Click on the Advanced tab
6. In the Windows Firewall section, click Settings
7. Click on the General tab to make sure that is what you are looking at
8. Choose On or Off, it is up to you, but if you choose "On" move to the
next step. If you choose Off, skip to step 13.
9. You must uncheck and verify that the "Don't allow exceptions" checkbox
is, in fact, unchecked.
10. Click the Exceptions Tab
11. Check the "Remote Desktop" checkbox, and verify it is checked.
12. Click the Advanced Tab
13. In the Network Connection Settings section, find the Network Card again
that matches step 3
14. Select this Network Card and click Settings...
15. In the Advanced Settings window, on the Services tab, check and verify
that "Remote Desktop" is checked.
16. Click OK to incorporate all of these changes.
17. Try to connect to this machine from another machine on the network, as
you did before.

Let us know how this goes.

Sincerely,

Pat Walters [MSFT]

I'm having the same problem. I hope someone suggests a solution soon.

I also want to add some thing else that might be helpfull. There is an option
in Network card confugaration dialog box where it say's "Allow the computer
to turn off this device to save power", weather you check that option or
uncheck it computer always turn's it off, and goes to standby mode and it
wouldn't happen before installing XP SP2. So I think after I installed SP2
Windows doesn't communicate with network card signals properly.
