What is Tcpip?

It provides network transport services, and you need it if you want to
connect to an ethernet network.

what
do I lose if I disable it, or what?

You'll lose any kind of internet access.

This hibernation issue may be related to a Wake-On-Lan setting for your
network adapter or BIOS. the same sort of thing can happen if moving hte
mouse or tapping a key will wake the system.

So, look at the adapter or BIOS settings.

But don't disableTCP/IP unless you really don't want to use your network
access at all.

Let me add the following 'event':

Event Type: Information
Event Source: Tcpip
Event Category: None
Event ID: 4201
Date: 3/17/2010
Time: 10:15:48 AM
User: N/A
Computer: COMPAQ-2006
Description:
The system detected that network adapter
\DEVICE\TCPIP_{D5E50A75-4A1C-4421-A5B4-569C9FE131B8} was connected to the
network, and has initiated normal operation over the network adapter.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
Data:
0000: 00 00 00 00 02 00 50 00 ......P.
0008: 00 00 00 00 69 10 00 40 ....i..@
0010: 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........
0018: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........
0020: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........

So my follow-up question is:

I am one isolated desktop PC, hard- wired by Ethernet to my ISP via
DSL.

And the connection is TCP/IP. And if you're connected to an ISP, the
"isolation" of your system is arguable.

Am I a network?

You aren't, but your machine is most certainly on one.

Do I need a network adapter?

You already have one. That's what the ethernet cable plugs into.

Patrick, I thank you for the specific education. So
the TCP/IP is an essential part of my connection
to Internet and must remain. But the Wake-on-LAN business
sounds promising. Moving the mouse wakes my dormant
system from any form of sleep except actual hibernation,
which requires pushing the power-on button on the tower.

Now I guess I have to get with HP as to the BIOS settings,
or maybe my ISP (AT^T) who furnished the adapter (i.e.,
modem). Or I could nose around in the BIOS to see if anything
pops up.

Any further advice regarding wake-on-LAN will be welcome from
anybody........

Continuing on, I'd like to present some more evidence that I
believe bears on this same failure-to-hibernate problem.

Overnight, my Events Log showed that WIA was invoked every
hour, and I'm going to start a new thread to see if maybe *that*
can be reset to not happen every hour.

Try setting WIA to manual.
