re: standby and hibernation settings Saturday, August 6, 2005 at 6:06 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by adnjay (1 messages posted) To stop your computer from waking up when your internet / network connection is active, go into Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager, then find the device that controls your connection (e.g. Network Adapters or Modems). Right click on the relevent device and go to Properties > Power Management, then de-select "Allow this device to bring the computer out of standby". I don't understand why this is turned on by default when most broadband / network connections are "always on". Perhaps Microsoft has a share in some electricity companies? Anyway, I searched the web for ages and couldn't find much info on this, so hopefully this will solve some peoples "mysterious wake up" issues and reduce electricity bills at the same time!
