afp connection

[WhatTheCrap]

hey,

i'm able to connect my mac at home with my mac at work using afp://my ip so i can get files to work on. but... i can't connect if my mac at work is sleeping. i have it set to wake for ethernet network administrator access and when modem detects a ring. but it doesn't seem to work. is there something that i'm missing?

thanks
kurt

my guess is that afp connections aren't qualified as network "administration".
i'm not to sure what apple events do as far as afp but you might try enabling them on the work computer to see if an afp request is handled by Apple Event Manager which in turn wakes the machine for the data transfer.
