    Technical Help

    I'm not sure if this is possible but here goes.

    Is there a way in which I can turn on off my computer but still leave my wireless internet running. I use it as an ethernet bridge for a game console and was wondering if there was any of powering down the PC while I continue to use it as a bridge.

    I would say no. Just get yourself a wireless bridge what you save in electricity will pay for it

    You wont be able to power it down, but maybe put it into standby or something. Theres a whole host of standby options for leaving devices running - have a play.

    Nope. You need windows to be running to share an internet connection (unless you have a fancy card). Get a router.
