Hello, I have a problem to make work the 'Wake on network access' feature. I try to host my personal web site on my MacBook. My config is the following. I have a modem/router connected to the internet.

An Airport Extreme is connected to my router. And my MacBook is connected to the AirPort Extreme. I have enabled the port forwarding for the port 80 from the router to the Airport Extreme. On the Airport Extreme, I have enabled to the port forwarding too to my MacBook for the port 80. Everything works fine when the MacBook does not sleep. I can access the built-in web site on the MacBook.

But when the MB goes to sleep, I cannot access anymore the MB built-in web site. What is weird, It used to work. The MB used to waking up when I accessed the web site from another computer. But since I have installed the last Mac OS X update, It does not wake up any more.

Follow the directions. You can do it via a wireless mouse or keyboard. You may also be able to do it via a USB keyboard, but I don't know for sure. Follow the directions as they are listed: Plug in and setup all needed devices and adapters (AC plug, external input, external monitor). Then close the lid and after it falls asleep then wake it via the external input (external keyboard and mouse).

Now your computer should recognize the external display as a 'Primary'. If you have setup all other systems before hand you can put the laptop back to sleep and try waking via network. Something to keep in mind is that you should not be doing processor intensive tasks while it is in this setup. Using the laptop while the lid is closed restricts airflow needed to cool the laptop down in the case of an intensive task.
