I don't know if this will help, but just a thought...
Do you have a built in ethernet port that is used for the DSL? If so, go into your BIOS (as the computer powers up it should say something like Hit DEL for setup).
Then look for the page that defines the Ethernet/LAN port. Look for a setting called "Wake up on LAN". If you find it, disable it.
Do you have a firewall? If you have a DSL modem you really should have some form of firewall to prevent people accessing your computer from the network.
EDIT: the router Ken mentions often has a firewall built in, and is a good thing to have. |
