[NTLUG:Discuss] Is there a such 'low power standby' phenomenons?

[lee]

i recently discovered the same experience on a pc of mine on my interenal 
network.  i haven't fixed the problem yet becuase i just realized what may be 
happening this morning.

you may have to check the bios to see if it automatically goes into "sleep" mode 
- and you may have an option to turn that feature off.  one other alternative is 
to see if you have a "wake on lan" option in the bios and turn that on instead. 
  i can let you know the results of these tweaks if you like...
