Are you sure 'wake on LAN' isn't set in your BIOS?

Re: Automatic boot after shut down

Yes, it was set. I turned it off and since there was no automatic start.
Sorry Ron, I didn't see it when I checked for it following your
recommandation
But why? I never changed BIOS settings since I bought this computer. Could
the install of SP3 either changed BIOS settings (I doubt) or the LAN
behaviour ? I want to understand
Many thanks for all of you
Fernand

There are many things that cannot be explained when dealing with computers.

Re: Automatic boot after shut down

I can see no relationship between SP3 and the BIOS setting and that's why my
earlier post was worded as it was. However, it was fairly clear to me that
the BIOS setting was responsible for the machine being started. How the
BIOS change occurred--not a clue other than "stuff" happens. :-)
