It used to work (quite a while ago, lol). Everytime I try to put puter in
standby, it will go, but only for a short time. Only for a few minutes, tops.
I'm using a Two Wire DSL Yahoo connection, Norton System Works, System
Mechanic, Epson printer and MicroTec scanner. I also use Adaware, and SpyBot.

Any help will be Greatly appreciated!!!
 
There is a setting in power management somewhere I
believe that has something to do with wake up on LAN
activity. That's probably where you're running in to the
problem. Every time your connection does a check to make
sure everything's A-OK, it's waking up the computer.
 
I disabled my LAN connection, Jin. I could then go to standby, but when I
came out of standby my internet access wouldn't work until I enabled the LAN
connection. Maybe there is something else I can change?
