[QUOTE="scoop, post: 135829, member: 10498"] Hi, If you go to device manager and look at the properties for your network card, there's also an "Energy" or perhaps "Power Management" tab. There, you have a setting called "this device can wakeup the computer from standby". Actually there are several device classes which have this property. Sometimes disabling this option altogether for a particular device helps. In my case my htpc immediately woke up when entering standby, because on the same tab there's also a setting called "Only network management stations can wakeup the computer from standby" which is basically a filter that [b]only[/b] Wake-on-LAN packets may wakeup the PC and that option wasn't checked ;). So, if you've got this setting disabled, then [b]any[/b] network packet (i.e. ethernet broadcasts ;) ) can wakeup your PC. I ran into this issue when testing the Wake-on-LAN feature of my HTPC.
