I recently bought an 09 mac mini to use as a media pc, so it is connected up to my lcd for movies, music and such like. I absolutely love plex, and have been gradually working out more and more cool bits.
Getting to the point though, I am playing with using the mini as a file server, connecting an external 1tb drive to serve up everything to my home network. One problem I am having though is that I don't really want to leave the mini on all the time. I tried to enable the wake on lan feature, but using my windows desktop I can see the mini but cannot access it when it is asleep, it refuses to wake up to serve my files.
Anybody solved this issue?
