I recently had Windows XP installed, and now when
I "Turn off computer" the computer shuts down but somehow
turns itself on within the next hour or two. I can't
receive faxes when the computer is on and in sleep mode.
I would rather have the computer off during the day when
I am away. Does anyone know how it is turning itself back
on and/or what I can do to keep it off (besides
unplugging it)?

Open your computer's BIOS and disable "wake on LAN" and/or "wake on modem or
ring".

If you do not know how to open the BIOS, consult your computer's owners
manual for instructions.
