Apologies,

I haven't been able to post recently.

Dean is correct. Windows is sending the PC back to standby when it
should stay awake due to network activity, so this is a Windows
bug/limitation.

Your issue is different. You seem to be either using wake on link or
some other W2k03 feature which bring your pc out of standy when it
detects any network traffic directed at it.

My own limited testing since my last post have been frustrating. My PC
will now sucessfully stay in standby with Wake on Link enabled. I think
the previous behaviour I saw (standby/wake/standby/wake) may have been
caused by a bug in the NIC driver I was using. I upgraded as part of my
recent troubleshooting.

Microsoft have closed my call, claiming that the behaviour is down to a
bios setting. I'm going to try re-open the call as Windows is not even
behaving according to MS's own Kb article. Pings or Network traffic
directed at my pc should keep it awake.
There are no bios setting's I can see which would cause the behaviour
I'm experiencing.
