If you have a seperate LAN card whip the cover off. LAN wakeup tends to work on a little two wire lead that plugs across... unplug it.

My pc has been doing this for years, no explanation I just unhook the power each time I'm not using it





The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make it moral.

I had one like that once, had to diable the onboard nic and stick in a pci nic.

It fixed it but never did get to the bottom of it, thought it may have been a dodgy bios but the latest version didn't help.

Just my two peneth
