Im going to upgrade the machine to Lion tonight so hopefully thatll fix the problem.įor those folks who its works for which generation of Time Capsule do you have I have the dual band but the first gen. Wake For Network Access ? Upgrade The Machine Its really annoying as I have to go in an hit the space bar for my network printing to start printing.įrom what I can see all my settings are set so that it should wake. It is, however, a potentially finicky setup, and requires a recent model ABS, mac, and Bonjour to work. I know that this doesnt work with wireless connections, since I use an entirely wireless network at home and cant access shared folders on other machines unless theyre on, so perhaps that is the issue I know that it does work with wireless my Mac Mini at home is a wirelessly connected to our Airport base station and appears as an accessible volume in the network sidebar even when asleep. I would think any success with wireless iMacs would depend on the age of the iMac, the OS and any network hardware between them. So not much help really TBH I dont even use the WoL functionality proper anymore with my Mac Pro because with an AE the process is completely transparent, I still use a WoL client to wake my Linux PC but not for the Mac anymore. Ive never had any problems using WoL to my, wired, Mac Pro from my laptops but have never tried to wake a wireless device nor used an ATV.

I know that this doesnt work with wireless connections, since I use an entirely wireless network at home and cant access shared folders on other machines unless theyre on, so perhaps that is the issue. Wake up has worked 99 of the time both wired and on wifi in the 10 months or so Ive had the ATV2. Wake For Network Access ? Upgrade The Machine.
