I followed your directions but did not find a "wake up capabilities" option under the advanced tab. To be clear, the advanced tab goes to the firwall settings, is that where you wanted me to go? In the ethernet card itself there is no "advanced" tab. Keep in mind i am running Windows XP SP3, just in case this is a feture under Vista or 7.

I just want to make sure you followed all the steps. Did you click the configure button once the properties page was open? You are correct that the the advanced tab on the main properties page goes to the firewall settings, However if you click the CONFIGURE button in the upper right portion of the page it will take you to the properties of the NIC itself instead of the properties for the connection. From there you can configure multiple settings that apply only to the NIC. There are more advanced configuration options in this area. As well as the advanced tab there is also a power mangement tab that allows you to control the NIC and not the OS connection settings.
I am assuming you have not been there so you should also go the Power managemant tab and make sure that all check marks are cleared.

tsauter,
Thanks for the fast response. First, I was obviously wrong, as when I went into the ethernet card configuration i did not see the "advanced" tab. However, once I went in I found the following options, none of which lead to a "wake up capabilties" option. Here are the options I see:
Gigabit master slave
jumbo frames
locally admin address
log link state
performance options
Qos packet
tcp/ip offloading options
wait for link
I went into all of them, including "performance options", and could not find anything that looked like "wake up cabailities". What am I missing? Thanks for your patience.

Unfortunately I am out of ideas. Other than checking the power management options in the NIC properties. Some where in that screen, there should be a place to adjust the power options for the NIC. As i am unformiliar with your NIC I can't say where it will be. For mine it is a tab, but I know other NIC's have it other places. Go back into the configure properties and look for the power management. Once you find it there should be an option with a check box that says "allow the computer to turn this device off". Make sure that option is not checked. That check mark was always the culprit when I ran acrros this type of problem at work.
Hope it helps!
