standyby on and off

[Guest]

when my system is not in use it goes to standby mode, but it wakes up on its
own. It keeps repeating this over and over every 2-5 minutes. Someone
suggested to c heck the network card properties and the wake on lan, but
unfortunatly I don't know how to do that. Please help.

To do this,

Start>Run and type

devmgmt.msc

Find "Network Adapters" then click the "+" beside "Network Adapters".
Double-click the adapter under Network Adapters. Go to the "Power
Management" tab and uncheck "Allow this device to bring the computer out
of standby". Then click OK.

Good Luck
