Last night I did a complete shut-down of my computer.
This morning, the telephone rang and my computer turned
on! It happened a second time. I checked it myself by
dialing my land line from my cell phone and it happened
again.

I recently installed DSL, but did not have this happen
dring the the first week.

Can anyone help? I am concerned about the security
involved with my computer being turned on by the
telephone. How can I stop this from occuring?

Go into BIOS and turn off 'wake on Lan'.
