Well it should not do that but if it dose. Go start run type CMD. Than type ipconfig /all. See what is your IP address, SubNet Mask, Default Gateway, and your DNS. Copy them on the paper. Than right click on My Network Places and go properties. Than right click on Local Area Connection and go properties. Double click on TCP/IP, click on use following IP address, and fill in what is on your paper. It will keep your IP address.\n\nTo explain Y because your network card for some reason dose not wake up automatic. All you have to do than is try to replace the network card, or first reinstall the drivers for it.

I use Zone Alarm for a firewall. It has an option to lock and unlock internet acess.\n\nhttp://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/home.jsp

Try accessing via its IP address not with its name.

Various programs running in the background can "wake up" your computer to update themselves over the internet, run scheduled tasks, or things of that nature.  That would be my guess!

For Windows XP SP2:\n\nAt control panel, go to Windows Firewall, and click on the "Off (not recommended) option. I do hope the reason you're turning this off is that you have a 3rd party firewall either hardware or software. :o

If you're on linux using a bash shell, you could use nmap.\n\nIf you're on windows, download a network scanner and use that.

You can also setup deny ip list on your zone alarm. That will block inbounce and outbounce traffic. \n\nDouble click on your Zonealarm and click on internet zone, add the ip which you want to block to it.\n\nHave fun!\n\nd10v01b

If you want you dns to be static, then uncheck automatically assign dns in your network connections.  To flush the dns use, ipconfig /flushdns

One sure way is to use a firewall to restrict all access to the interent to only your computer's IP address, or to the mac address if you have that option.

Run this command from the command prompt:\n\n"netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt" (without the quotes) and reboot the box.

It could be a 'wake on lan' event.  Depending on your computer, OS, and network adapter, search for that to find out how to switch it off.
