Sleep or Windows XP-based computer displays is not on the list of network in Windows 7

I have a HTPC to Windows XP that I use for Hulu and Netflix (I will be upgrading soon) and network storage (set on the router via an ethernet cable), and when my laptop was on XP, I could go in network, click the shortcut of the computer (let's call HTPC-XP), and she wakes up the HTPC and allow me to surf on the shared folders. Since upgrading my laptop to Windows 7, it shows only active (awake) computers on the network and shows no caching of shortcuts I can click to wake up computers. I have to walk over to the HTPC in another room and press the power button to wake up from her sleep, then return to the laptop and refresh the network connections, and this can take several minutes for the shortcut is displayed, so that Wake-on-LAN with all the XP computers less than 15 seconds before.

The problem seems to occur with other Windows 7 computers of sleeping too. I can't get a list of shortcuts to use persistent connections that I can click to wake a computer from the network. What is the solution here?

  • Access denied: the IP address of this computer host is not on the list of eligible access of the target.

    Hi all:

    I was working normally with my NI9024 CRIO to my work. I went home and when I came back the other day. I tried to compile my application to work.

    The surprise was that I got a strange message "access denied: the IP address of this computer host is not on the list of eligible access of the target."  Now, I can not connect a CRIO device. I tried to reset all the IP addresses in the CRIO and my PC computer. What can I do?.

    Yes. This is the solution. I had to uninstall the NOR-RIO software on the target. I have uninstall everything on the CRIO. Then I reinstall the software, but I had also to program the fpga, the host and target. And I also have my IP, on the measure and automatition software. I found a big bug I guess.

    Thanks anyway. National Instrument of love. Hope to work there one day.

  • System Image recovery files Windows displays is not in the list of files in recovery

    Windows 7 Professional - to date from Windows update.

    I just create a backup system on a USB hard drive external image. Looking at the USB directory for the backup watch directory that it - there is a folder with the name of the current computer.

    If I then try to restore the backup on the same disk, from the control panel GUI or from a Windows recovery disk recent backup does not appear in the list of available to restore images.  Other backups of different machines that have been recorded on this disk image appear in the list!

    Any ideas?

    Problem solved.

    The external USB hard drive had a backup failed on it.  If you have made a list of directories to BACK of all the backup files to image the external hard drive, you'll see all the backups but system restore image didn't show those until the backup has failed/corrupt.

    Remove the backup directory tree failed then permit restoration System Image list all available external hard disk backups.

    Thanks to all who watched this and helped.
