Well, my Compaq has done this since the day I bought it (may 2005). Everything turns off properly, it hibernates or goes on Standby; then, it just wakes itself back up. Is there anyway I can prevent this annoyance?

is wake on lan enabled?
or better question, does it wake itself up without anything plugged into it?

It does wake itself up without anything plugged into it. How do I check for wake-on-lan?

Anyone?
wake on LAN would be a setting in BIOS. But that wouldn't be the problem if it is still waking on its own even with nothing plugged in. Wake on LAN is only when it gets a packet from some other device, and if the ethernet cable is unplugged then it can't receive packets.
