Possibly OT - Hibernation Problems

[Paul Trimble]

Hi guys,

Have just got broadband and a usb modem. When connected my pc will not
hibernate after a specified period of time. If I log out of broadband it
will hibernate ok. I can also hibernate manually. Basically I want to have
my broadband connection active all the time but I also want my computer to
automatically hibernate after an hour if I go out etc. Anyone know a
workaround? Am using Windows XP with all updates etc.

First thing I would try is: Go into BIOS and disable all the Wake on
entries, Wake on Lan etc.
