I'm setting up internet connection sharing between two adjacent computers in a small local library until they can order a router. What I would like to do is have the hosting machine able to enter standby to save energy/component lifetime, but wake from standby when the client machine tries to access a web page across the crossover cable.

I already have the WOL set up, and running Firefox does wake the host machine. The problem is, trying to browse in Firefox before the host machine is completely out of standby results in a "page not found" error after several seconds, presumably because the timeout period is less than the amount of time that the host machine takes to fully resume. A search in Google results in two settings that would appear to do what I want - "network.http.connect.timeout" and "network.http.request.timeout" - but both appear to be absent and non-functional in Firefox 6.

Is there some other way to increase the time it takes for http requests to timeout, and I'm simply missing it?

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Network.http.connect.timeout = never worked in Firefox, it was a pref in the Mozilla Suite & Netscape 6.0.- 6.2

The other was removed in 2003, as it wasn't being used. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205140
