Computer wakes up from suspend - eventlog entry?

[Guest MikeB]

My new computer keeps waking up from suspend. I'd suspend it, walk

away and sometime when I pass by it's fully active. Not even the

screensaver is in operation, it's showing the logon panel.

 

I can't seem to find any entries in eventlog that would indicate the

reason it woke up - should there be any?

Go into BIOS and turn off wake on lan and other wake ons.

See if this helps.

 

Go to Control Panel and double click Network Connections.

Note: If you still have Control Panel configured for Category

views you'll need to click on Network and Internet Connections

first to get to Network Connections.

In the Network Connections folder, right click your Local Area

Connection and select Properties from the menu.

On the General page, click on the Configure button.

This should bring up the properties sheet for your network

adapter.

Click on the Power Management tab.

Remove the check mark from the box next to "Allow this device

to bring the computer out of standby".

Click OK.

 

On a side note, if you want to avoid having to logon after

resuming from standby, open Power Options in Control Panel.

Click on the Advanced tab. Remove the check mark from the box

next to "Prompt for password when computer resumes from

standby". Next, double click Display in Control Panel. Click on

the Screen Saver tab. Remove the check mark from the box next

to "On resume,...". Click OK. Keep in mind that both of these

settings are configured to be on by default as a security

measure. Don't disable them unless you're not concerned about

others being able to access your computer when it's left

unattended.

 

Good luck

I didn't tnink that this was going to do it - my computer wasn't

connected to a LAN and the LAN port was siabled, but I went into the

BIOS and completely disabled the on-board LAN. That seemed to do the

trick, it's been sleeping like a baby ever since.

 

Will have to figure out what to do if I ever want to connect it to a

LAN, but that's an issue for another day.

Even if you eventually connect to a LAN, no further action is required

UNLESS you want the LAN to wake up the computer.
