Thanks again, and yes... "Wake on Lan" is a feature of the NIC... but I was
always under the impression that was for use if you were in an environment
where the network admin wanted to wake or poll your system so they could
perform admin tasks, etc... This is a home system and "wake on lan" is
disabled in my bios, more or less because I don't to open that door... in
addition, I've seen threads saying that if it is set that way, Vista won't
stay asleep... I'm starting to think this is a SP2 bug or that the SP1 NIC
drivers aren't compatible...
Other thoughts ?
