Thanks for the feedback but DSL still prevents computer
from going to stand by while connected. I followed your
procedure, as
it turns out, that's what dell did two nights ago and it
still does not work. The computer will not go into stand
by while connected to DSL! I think there's something
about DSL (ppope?? protocol) vs. cable (DCHP) that's the
problem. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Is this problem related to BIOS power management settings? Had a situation
where two PCs connected together prevented each other shutting down because
the BIOS power management settings said to wake up on activity on the LAN.
