There are options in the bios to allow, or disallow
1. Wake on LAN
2. Wake on modem
If you receive a signal from either one of these devices, and you are set to
wake, the computer will wake.
A LAN is constantly sending signals about to check on the status of various
computers. If you receive one of these packets - your computer will wake up
to respond! For instance, this is how system administrators accomplish their
nightly backups if the user shuts down their computer when going home.
If you don't want it to happen - TURN IT OFF!
