I have a new HP computer with Vista home edition and when I put it to
"sleep", as soon as the DSL adapter gets any activity, the computer "wakes".
Is there a way to defeat this? I tried turning off something in the bios
that sounded like a likely suspect but computer wouldn't go on-line at all.

WOW. That was so straightforward and simple, I don't know why I couldn't
figure it out.
Seriously, thanks a million. I REALLY appreciate it!

Another path to accomplish the same thing:
Control Panel>Device Manager>Network Adapter>Network
Connection>Properties--Select "Power Management Tab"--Uncheck All under
"Wake On Lan"
This fixed my "won't stay asleep" problem
MLD

i tried the below & the PC still wakes up after a few seconds :-(

strangely, when the PC is not used for a while, sleep mode works fine after
a few minutes of use. If i use hte PC for an hour or so, it won't want to
sleep. Could there be some sort of temperature sensor on teh motherboard that
trigger teh O/S to wake up, so that the fans get activated ? motherboard =
Asus P5B deluxe

any help much appreciated - the PC is in the living room, used as a media
center & this lack of sleep mode ruins the whole thing :-(

thx
