Go into the desktop computer's BIOS setup program and disable "Wake on
LAN".

I found the wake up on LAN already disabled but I noticed the next item was
Wake up by PCI card and this was enabled.
Would that affect the result?

I'm sorry, but I don't know. A sure way to find out is to disable the
"PCI card" setting and see what happens.
