You'll lose any kind of internet access. This hibernation issue may be related to a Wake-On-Lan setting for your network adapter or BIOS. the same sort of thing can happen if moving hte mouse or tapping a key will wake the system. So, look at the adapter or BIOS settings. But don't disableTCP/IP unless you really don't want to use your network access at all. HTH -pk HTH -pk

And the connection is TCP/IP. And if you're connected to an ISP, the "isolation" of your system is arguable. > Am I a network? You aren't, but your machine is most certainly on one. > Do I need a network adapter? You already have one. That's what the ethernet cable plugs into. HTH -pk

So the TCP/IP is an essential part of my connection to Internet and must remain. But the Wake-on-LAN business sounds promising. Moving the mouse wakes my dormant system from any form of sleep except actual hibernation, which requires pushing the power-on button on the tower. Now I guess I have to get with HP as to the BIOS settings, or maybe my ISP (AT^T) who furnished the adapter (i.e., modem). Or I could nose around in the BIOS to see if anything pops up. Any further advice regarding wake-on-LAN will be welcome from anybody........

Continuing on, I'd like to present some more evidence that I believe bears on this same failure-to-hibernate problem. Overnight, my Events Log showed that WIA was invoked every hour, and I'm going to start a new thread to see if maybe *that* can be reset to not happen every hour.
