Hi

You might be using internet through cable or dsl on ethernet connection.
Goto Control Panel -> System -> hardware -> Device manager.

In the Device Manager window, bring up the properties window of your network
adapter and goto the power management tab. You will see two options:
Allow this computer...
Allow this device to bring the computer out of standby

Uncheck both of them
This will help.
