Vista - Computer won't sleep when connected to internet

11-26-2007

I am currently operating Windows Vista Home Premium on a HP Pavilion a6010n.
When I am connected to the internet my computer will not go to into sleep
mode. The display (monitor) will go to sleep after its desired set time, but
the PC will not. I have tried all troubleshooting hints provided by HP and
nothing works. If I am not connected to the internet the sleep function
tends to work perfectly fine.

Hi,

Your network device may be preventing your computer from going to sleep. See STEP FIVE in this tutorial and disable the the options.

Thanks for the advice; however I tried step 5 under "Network adapters".
Under Network adapters there was "Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Network Connection",
that is the device I unchecked Allow this device to wake the computer. Doing
this did not work. Is this the correct thing I am supposed to be doing, or
am I misunderstanding.

Yes, that is correct. Did you also disable the items boxed in red for step 10 in the STEP FIVE section?

In step 10 of STEP FIVE there are no boxed in red Property to disable.
Please keep trying to help.

Do you mean that you do not have a "Advanced" tab like the screenshot below step 10 and 11? "Property" is just the section the boxed in red items are in from the screenshot.

I do have an "Advanced" tab, but the Property listings are different from the
ones shown in the tutorial. The boxed in red Property settings do not even
exist. There are different properties listed with "Value" settings. Thank
you again.

I suppose it will be different according to the device's drivers. Strange though, they are usually always pretty similar.

Does anyone else have any ideas about this problem. Please provide some more
ideas.

Thanks
