    It seems like there is a bug with Windows 7 and its HomeGroup feature: Win7 PCs linked together to share files and printers do not automatically sleep or hibernate. Power management only works if all the others are manually powered off, the HomeGroup is deleted, or the network connection is disconnected. Is there some kind of hotfix out there?

    What I've seen posted as a work-around:

    In Device Manager, open the properties of your Network Adapter, and on the Advanced tab, find the Property Wake on pattern match. Set it to Disabled.

    To see which could be the culprit:

    Open a CMD prompt as Administrator
    Type in powercfg -requests

    Wake from shutdown and wake on pattern match already are disabled on the desktop with a gigabit NIC and the laptop with wireless g (both run Win7 Home Premium x64). The power command yields no data. I guess i'll have to disable Homegroup and use sneakernet :(

    Well I tried disabling the Windows Media Player sharing through both network options and services.msc, but the bug still persists.

    I reverted to using the same usernames and passwords :/
