Hello, I have a problem to make work the 'Wake on network access' feature. I try to host my personal web site on my MacBook. My config is the following. I have a modem/router connected to the internet. An Airport Extreme is connected to my router.
And my MacBook is connected to the AirPort Extreme. I have enabled the port forwarding for the port 80 from the router to the Airport Extreme. On the Airport Extreme, I have enabled to the port forwarding too to my MacBook for the port 80. Everything works fine when the MacBook does not sleep. I can access the built-in web site on the MacBook. But when the MB goes to sleep, I cannot access anymore the MB built-in web site.
What is weird, It used to work. The MB used to waking up when I accessed the web site from another computer. But since I have installed the last Mac OS X update, It does not wake up any more. From the mac os x help pages: If you’re sharing your computer’s resources, such as a shared printer or iTunes playlist, you can set your computer to wake from sleep when other users access those resources. To use this feature, you need an Apple wireless device that supports 802.11n, with the latest firmware installed. To share your computer’s resources when it’s in sleep: Choose Apple menu System Preferences and click Energy Saver.
Open Energy Saver preferences Select “Wake for network access.” When this option is selected, your computer wakes at the following times: When a user at another computer accesses your computer’s shared resources. At regular intervals so that your computer can notify other computers on the network that its resources are available.If you have a portable computer, selecting this option will wake your computer only if it’s plugged in and the display is open. First check to see if your Airport's firmware is up to date. If it is then you are going to need to register the second display with the sleep proxy server.
Hello, I've had this issue with AppleTV 1, AppleTV 2 and all of its software revisions. I have to run up the stairs to wake up the iMac in order for the AppleTV to be able to access the music on.
Follow the directions. You can do it via a wireless mouse or keyboard. You may also be able to do it via a USB keyboard, but I don't know for sure. Follow the directions as they are listed: Plug in and setup all needed devices and adapters (AC plug, external input, external monitor). Then close the lid and after it falls asleep then wake it via the external input (external keyboard and mouse). Now your computer should recognize the external display as a 'Primary'.
If you have setup all other systems before hand you can put the laptop back to sleep and try waking via network. Something to keep in mind is that you should not be doing processor intensive tasks while it is in this setup. Using the laptop while the lid is closed restricts airflow needed to cool the laptop down in the case of an intensive task.
In the case of running a website this should not be a big deal, but I would not try doing some video encoding or playing games like this.

Hello, Thank you very much 'a Mac user' for your help and your quick answer. Sorry, I have miss some points on my last post.
I have not yet tried when I let my lid open, as specified in mac os x help pages. I would like to make it work with the lid of my MB closed, with an external monitor and with bluetooth keyboard and mouse, like explained in the following apple support doc: I have followed every steps of this doc and it does not work. Do you have an idea: - how I can check if the Bonjour proxy server in my Airport Extreme is working fine? - in which plist file on the MB, I can check that the 'Wake up on network access' is well defined? - which checks I can do, on the MB and on the AirPort Extreme, to verify that everything is well set?

Hello, Once again, thank you very much 'A Mac user' for your helps. I have done exactly what you have indicated in your last post, and still, my MB does not wake up. I wonder if I do not have a problem of registering of the WebServer on Bonjour.
I understand that when we unable the Personal Web Sharing on Mac OS X, it should be registered on Bonjour. But when I go on Safari, go to open-book and check all Bonjour registered services, I do not find the MB's WebServer. If the Airport Extreme does not find a registered MB's WebServer with Bonjour, we can understand that he has no reasons to wake up the MB, when it receives a HTTP request from the NET. If it is really the problem, why Mac OS X does not register the MB's built-in WebServer when I enable it in the Sharing pane? And how can I force the registering of the WebServer?
