Many computers can come out of hibernation and standby if the modem or LAN card detects
activity. There are settings in the device manager and probably some BIOS settings
that can deactivate this.
The LAN setting in particular can be a problem, since with most broadband connections
there is continuous activity, so the computer may only stay in hibernate mode for
a few seconds.
