Computer won't stay asleep!

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.

 

Yup.
1)Click Start-Control Panel
2)Network and Sharing Center
3)Manage network connections
4)Right-Click on connected lan adapter then click on properties of the
pop-up menu
5)Click continue to go into adapter config
6)Click on configure button under adapter name
7)Click power management
8)Uncheck option(s) that have wake on directed packet, wake on magic
packet, wake on magic packet filter, etc. stuff like that
9)Click ok, wake on lan is disabled.

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

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

My computer sleep-walks

Thank-you. A thousand times.

 

Fuzor, thank you! I registered with this forum just to thank you. What a
pesky setting that was!
