I cant find any solution to getting WOL to actually wake the computer like normal instead of doing "darkwake" or whatever its called where it wakes and then goes back to sleep after 10 seconds.

I want to wake the computer and then use remote desktop to access it, but I cant do that because it just goes back to sleep immediately. Ive used no-sleep apps but they only work like 20% of the time, its a total crapshoot to get it to stay awake. It works perfect on Windows because it doesnt do that dark wake nonsense.
