But I can't actually find the LAN wake setting! I see the list of other wake events (ps2 keyboard, etc) but it's not in there! |

Maybe Windows programs the LAN chip, just before shutdown, for any required behavior. If I go to Device Manager, and look at my NIC, there are properties in there, saying "OS controlled" for Wake on LAN. That dialog says my WOL is currently Disabled. PME is used by the actual NIC chip, to signal to the chipset, to wake up. (PME is the same kinda thing they used to put on that three wire WOL cable. Now it is a bus signal.) The NIC chip runs off a derivative of +5VSB, to get the necessary power to look for Magic Packets or to look for "any activity". Some NIC chips have multiple waking methods, while others are quite restricted as to what will wake them. Paul |

I'd even diabled that once before but a long time ago. Anyway it finally stays off now! Only question now is why my router/modem would be sending magic packets after every shutdown... |

It probably isn't. As Paul said, some NICs have several methods of 'waking' the system, so it could just be any activity on the port (eg the modem/router simply seeing if there's anything there.) You could test that with a cross-over cable direct to a 2nd PC, for example. HTH, -- Rob |
