Hi.........I know others have had this similar problem........
sometimes when i put my system in standby, like overnite, it will stay
on stanby till i "wake" it up, but i've noticed that other times it
will "wake" up all by itself, sometimes a few minutes into it, other
times hours into the stanby mode. I've tried closing all programs, and
it will still "wake" up.
this is a random problem, sometimes it works fine, other times (like
tonite), it didnt want to stay put!! any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated before I attempt contacting my friendly Dell tech in
India..... :)

check the properties of your entwork card, and see if it WOL (wake on
lan) enabled. Disable it.
