Will RDP call to VM Running XP "wake" my MAC?

I have an iMac connected to an Airport Extreme Base Station. With a recent firmware upgrade, I am able to successfully use Snow Leopard's "wake on Demand" service to remotely "wake" my Mac from sleep using VNC software.

1. If I try to RDP into my XP-VM (installed on Parallels 6), will that also "wake" my Mac from sleep?

2. I also want to be able to continue to use my Linksys Media Center Extenders (original verion) in my house. Will a file sharing "call" from the extenders to the XP-VM (installed on Parallels 6) "wake" my Mac from sleep?

Thanks to anyone who can answers these VERY specific and technical questions.

mmm...
Wake on Demand use Bonjour. You should first wake the mac then,eventually, the VM running on it.
But you can try to install Apple Bonjour software inside the XP VM eventually to make it register itself with the proxy base station.

Then any Bonjour-enabled client (also in Windows) can discover Bonjour-registered service and then wake it.

Let us know.
