Power On

[Guest]

If my modem is left on when the computer is turned off, and the house phone rings, my computer turns back on. Where is the setting that will keep this from happening? Yes, I do turn my modem off when I'm done, but hard to control all users in the household.

Hi,

Disable the "wake on ring" setting in the system BIOS.
