No worries but it seems that communication is very difficult.  Probably
has to due with the fact that english isn't my mother tongue.

I selected Wake-on-link in the Bios. Server 2003 gives two power
options for the network adapter. 1-allow this device to wake the
computer. 2-only allow administrators to do this. 

I selected option 1 only. If I select option 2, the computer needs a
magic package to wake. Also if I select option 2, the computer is
showing the same problems as you describe, it only stays awake for 2
minutes.


I still think we are having the same problem.

I think it has only to do with your bios change and not with the
upgrade you did. Switch back to "wake-on-lan" instead of "wake-on-link"
and you will see "standby/wake/standby/wake" behaviour returns.

"My PC will now sucessfully stay in standby with Wake on Link enabled"
Yes, it stays awake because the SB2 keeps communication with it.
Wake-on-link means 'network activity directed to the computer's ip
address' and not 'network cable connected'.

I quess that you now, with the 'wake-on-link' option selected, have
trouble getting the computer to sleep. And that is because the SB2 is
constantly communicating with your server.

Switch the SB2 off and you will see the server goes to sleep
automatically. Switch on the SB2 and your server wakes and stays
awake.

But I could be wrong and we could have a different problem.
