Which still doesnt make any sense. If you are not home why do you need it on? Why must it be connected to the internet at a certain time? Have to be there for a download or something?
Cant be vague and expect a answer. If you are not there then why does the machine have to be on? Why not leave it in sleep mode but not shut down the hard drives? Why not just leave it with the screensaver on? How come your PC loses net connection in sleep mode. Mine doesnt. I constantly am downloading stuff with my PC going into sleep mode. I jsut dont turn on the hard drives.
