Re: sleep / hibernation

=?iso-8859-1?B?IGRiILe0r2C3LrguIC4+PCkpKbo+Lg==?=

I had looked into the bios and
had disable the wake on lan
and wake on ring.

but I didn't have that option for
the keybrd or mouse.

however, I think the kb I found
on how to enable the hibernation
mode will solve the problem.

thanks for your kind assistance.
