Doesn't enter Sleep mode in idle with Homegroup
I have a few computers running Windows 7 and I'm using Homegroup cause it's very useful.
But I've discovered the problem that all of my computers no longer enter the sleep mode (suspend) in idle. There're no problems if I push the button, but never by timeout defined in Power Schema.
I've tried all the group policies like Allow programs to prevent machine from going to sleep automatically, but nothing helped.
Only screen goes black by timeout, but not the computer!
I've even tried from scratch:
1. On clean installed Win 7 I defined sleep-timeout as 2 minutes. Works.
2. Defined network shared folder. The computer didn't go to sleep until any file is opened, but when I close all the files it goes to sleep normally.
3. Joined the Homegroup... and that's all - even when I go to sleep no one of my computers won't! I had to manually push them to sleep, or to pull the network cord off - only in case when network is down (or all the devices are turned off) the computer will go to sleep.
