Waking up a suspended Asus A7v333

[dminute]

I am trying to troubleshoot why my system cannot wake up from a suspend power state via my network card in XP Professional. I verified that XP sees the system as an APCI compliant system. I also made sure in the card's properties to allow this device to resume from suspend. If I go to the pc itself and move the mouse, it will resume. I have tried different cards and nothing seems to work. The only thing I can think of is the fact that I have a SCSI card and drive and I have heard that this does not work well with suspend. Plus, I am not sure who's power schemes are the active ones when there are multiple admins in xp.
Any thoughts?

Have you tried "Wake from LAN" in the BIOS?

It doesn't have a wake-on-lan per se. It is more of a Wake on PCI card deal, but yes I have. However, I do not have the connection from the card to the motherboard for wak-on-lan. Is that necessary to wake it from a suspended state too?
Thanks.

I would say then that you need the 3-pin power cable from network adapter to motherboard WOL connector. First make sure that your nic supports the function.

I have this MB and have just checked my manual. According to that you only need to set the BIOS to Wake on PCI for a network card - there doesn't seem to be any further connections to the board - HOWEVER - in the index under LAN, it refers you to page 24, 25 of the manual which is actually jumper settings to allow USB wake up - makes me wonder if that might have something to do with it.
I presume that you have the manual and can check this yourself - if not ask me and I'll post all the details.
One other thing - maybe relevant - maybe not - when I first got the board I needed to flash the BIOS to make the RAID work properely (strange, but true) - I would in any event check the ASUS site to make sure that you have the most up-to-date BIOS.

Good luck,

Thanks KimLeece-

I totally overlooked the heading to these threads (shows mobo type) and was speaking generally.
