All nighter dedicated....

[DSi]

I run a good dedicated server . Day and Night. It works fine when im awake, and able to manage the server. But when i go to bed. I put my computer on standby, it lags out. Is there way to host my server through the night. I gotta turn my computer off at night. Or atleast on standby. Cause its a Dell Dimension 3000. The electric bill would be  X-Treme

Thanks

Oops, srry for triple post.

In standby it's saving energy right? Well, im guessing that in the process it tries to eliminate all incoming and outgoing connections to save power. I can't remeber if this goes for standby along with hibernation.

There may be some way to change the settings of what happens during standby, like just to turn off the monitor etc.

Im not really sure but I hope you get it working.

(I just turn off my monitor :P)

All I could suggest is turn off your monitor, speakers, lower your fan speeds using something like "Speed Fan" and basically unplug anything (Optical devices, keyboards) which may be using power.

You need a program such as jiggler, which unfortunately is only for Mac. Jiggler randomly makes the mouse jiggle, which prevents standby mode from kicking in.

You can disable the auto standby mode in Power Settings under Windows... But he still wants low power consumption.

What the forget is the point in that when you can just turn it off?
