PhoneMyPC stopped working?

[naccout]

"Server has not responded in a timely manner" or something.

I switched from Windows Vista to Windows7, does 7 break it?

nope...i just tested mine and i'm on 7. might try deleting and reinstalling since you changed your os

I tested mine and it worked too. I'm also on Windows 7.

Good luck.

I have verified the servers are working well and all installations here continue to operate properly.

If you are receiving this message when you first run the software, then the problem is a slow network connection on your phone, and our not-so-robust network logic in such cases. We are striving to improve this.

If this happens when you select your PC, check the network use on your PC. File-sharing programs that hog your bandwidth, or even Windows Update can cause this. Again, PhoneMyPC should tell you the problem and let you retry, and the next release will.

I am looking forward to hearing more detail.

Just tried it now and it worked (sitting next to laptop) for the first time in a week or 2.

When it hasn't worked I was local, with stable 3G/good service.

If the computer is sleeping, does this prevent control?

Thanks for responding, appreciate it.

Definately a Yes.

You can change your power settings so that it remains awake 'enough' to keep working. At present, PhoneMyPC needs the CPU to be minimally awake, and the network interface must remain usable. Monitor and hard disks do not matter.

We have a body of prototyping and are ready to add Wake On LAN, but it will be at least a couple of releases away, as we are very narrowly focused at the moment.
