I would like to play my media through my Xbox when my computer sleeps so it saves power. In streaming options in Media Player 12 however it gives me that message. Is there anyway to change this?

I tried that solution, but it didn't seem to work.

Like I mentioned before, this feature isn't available with all network drivers. You would need a Windows 7 specific driver in order to have this feature. You can't access the machine while it's sleeping, it needs to be awake "wake on LAN" first.
