Standby mode

[Guest]

Hi there all you experts, I have a Compaq Pesario running XP SP2. It's
connected to an ADSL 4 point router with an old HP running Windows 98SE. I've
had a problem all along that I'm trying to fix. When I put my Pesario in
standby mode it wakes up by its self. Could be a few minutes or an hour. Any
suggestions.
Thanks.

Check your BIOS settings, you may have the 'Wake on LAN' option enabled.
Also in Device Manager, have a look at the properties under Power
Management for your network card, make sure the checkbox for 'Allow this
device to bring the computer out of standby' is unticked. Do the same
for any modem you have fitted as well.
Hope this helps
