From your description of the monitor, it sounds like you have an ADC monitor with a couple of USB ports on the back of it. I've seen instances where problems with those USB connectors caused an ADC monitor to put a G5 in a coma. It's possible that the reverse is happening to you. On the other hand, your console logs keep referencing your ethernet card. So I'd try: 1) Try hooking up a regular VGA monitor and see if the G4 will sleep then. 2a) Try unplugging your ethernet cable -and- 2b) Make sure you have no networking apps running in the background (e.g., Bittorrent clients.) Good luck!
