With Windows XP Pro, I could waken the computer by initiating a Remote Desktop Connection to it. After installing Windows 8 Pro on same hardware, Remote Desktop works fine when the computer is awake but is unable to wake the computer from a sleep state.
I have tried all combinations of Power Management settings under NIC Properties and confirmed that wake on pattern match and wake on magic packet are enabled. Under advanced power management, disabling hibernation and/or turning off hybrid sleep make no difference. With the default Microsoft/Broadcom NIC driver for Windows 8, whenever the computer sleeps, it always powers off the NIC - and once the NIC has been powered off it is unable to wake the computer on receipt of traffic.
Hardware is HP DC5700 SFF core 2 duo. NIC is Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet. BIOS power management settings are configured to support wake up on LAN.
