Dean, Thanks for the reply. Right now I'm using the "unplug your player" method. This works but feels silly to do something so low-tech on such a high-tech player! I tried holding LEFT for a few seconds and it definitely disconnected. I watched the player for a few minutes afterward and it didn't appear that the screen ever went dim. Does the "screensaver" not kick in when you go into setup mode? I was afraid it might wear out the screen if I have it in that bright mode all the time. Plus it would be distracting when I'm watching tv or something.
You are correct in what we are asking. We are requesting that you add a setting for this though such as "Disconnect from network on Power Off (Yes/No)?" Right now there is no choice. It is "hard coded" to always stay connected. With that menu choice you could make the default behavior to stay connected so for most people it would look the same, but there would be an option for people like us using sleep modes to have it disconnect on power down. By the way, I think you will see this become more and more of an issue as time goes on. As you can see from all of Intel's current marketing they are really pushing the low-power aspect of their new dual core architecture. Plus in the new Windows Vista to come out late next year they will be simplifying power-down schemes there. Supposedly there will be just one power-down mode (as opposed to stand-by and hibernate now) and it will have "instant on" wake-up. I would guess that more and more people will start using these methods going forward so it would be nice to have capabilities for that in place. The few "early adopters" of this kind of thing like me will be mighty happy too. Please let me know about the screen brightness thing when I hold LEFT. If it will eventually dim then that could be a solution. The power button option would be more elegant though if it's not a ridiculous amount of work to implement.
