I have no idea what you did. One thing that comes to mind is BIOS settings.
There are often "Wake On" settings: wake on Ring, wake on LAN, and some
systems have a "wake on RTC" (real time clock) or "wake on alarm" setting.
Perhaps you set times in the BIOS menus for a setting of this type?

Glad to have helped and to hear that things are now setup the way that you
want them to be!

No need to make a donation but if you feel compelled, I'll suggest one that
another MVP (that I know personally) actively supports as it hits rather
close to home for his family: http://www.dougknox.com/give2jdrf.htm
