automatic hibernate does not work

[James Weatherall]

Michael,

VNC server won't prevent an XP system from entering standby or hibernate
mode.  The only power-saving manipulations it performs are to do with
powering up the display hardware when a user connects in.

If you have Wake-on-LAN enabled on the server computer and have configured
your router to forward VNC traffic for port 5900 then you may find that
people "probing" for VNC servers will cause the machine to keep waking up.
This can be avoided by running your VNC server on a different public port.

Cheers,
