DSL prevents stand by mode
Subject: stand by mode while connected to dsl
From: "Tom" Sent: 4/3/2003 4:35:25 AM 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! -----Original Message----- Hi, Tom - Here's whatcha do: 1. While logged on as someone with administrator rights, right-click "My Computer" and select "Manage". 2. Open Device Manager and click the "+" sign next to "Network Adapters". 3. Right-click the entry for your network card and select "Properties" 4. Under the "Power Management" tab, uncheck the box that says "Allow this device to bring the computer out of standby". good luck! -----Original Message----- I have a new dell 8250 running windows xp home edition. The problem is the computer will not automatically go into stand by mode while connected to DSL. . . .. |

DSL prevents stand by mode
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. HTH Dave "tom" wrote in message ...
