XP coming out of hibernation by itself

[Peter Fruehman]

Win XP Home

I place my computer into Hibernation and sometimes in a
few minutes it returns on its own. Why?

Let's make sure of the terms. Hibernation is a method by which you are able
to completely shut down the system with the system saved exactly where it
was before shut down with applications open exactly as they were at the time
of shutdown. If this is what you mean, it's likely your system has a wake
on lan feature enabled in the system BIOS and you need to turn it off. When
your system boots, the first screen usually contains an instruction about
entering setup and what key to hit. When you see that, hit that key. Once
inside the BIOS you will need to navigate until you find the "Wake On Lan"
feature and turn it off or otherwise disable it.

Was hibernation what you meant or did you mean Standby?

RUBBISH! Complete and utter tosh. Computers do not "do things", I repeat,
computers do not "do things" on their own. Please repost minus the fantasy
crap. Thank you.

Yes - I do mean Hibernation - not Standby
Thank you for your answer.
My question now is what LAN activity happens
automatically? There are 2 other systems on this LAN and
I don't believe they are accessing my system. There is
also a gateway router on the LAN.
I'm also curious as to why the setting is part of the
BIOS and not an XP setting?

If he means standby, I'm betting on vibrations disturbing the mouse. I
keep mine on a piece of foam, go on standby via the keyboard.

If it was standby, I'd be betting with you, Maureen.<VBG>

You most likely are on a broadband connection. Such connections are always
on. Even when the system is shut down, there can be some activity,
something you'll see as the router and modem lights blink occasionally. If
a system supports wake on LAN, this activity can trigger the feature,
assuming it is turned on.

The setting is a part of the BIOS in order for the feature to work. When
Windows is shut down, it's features are turned off. Hence, this is a
hardware function and it is controlled in the BIOS assuming you have a
system and network card that supports the feature.

protect your computer during standby or hibernation. Open Power Options in
control Panel Click the Advance tab , then click Prompt for password when
computer resumes from sleep The password for which you will be prompted
when the computer resumes is the password for the currently logged-on user
