Open your BIOS and disable the "Wake on Ring" and/or
"Wake on LAN" feature.

This has occurred on four occassions now, at night and during the day, when nobody else is around. The PC loads up to the front XP "user" screen. | | I have not installed any "unusuall" software. The eTrust antivirus software the was pre-installed on the PC has not found anything suspicious either. | | Any help would be appreciated! |
