Hi,

I have a Dell Vostro 1200 which is fine when by itself but when I set it up with an external monitor and 3 ext HDD thru a hub I have a problem that it keeps 'waking up' from sleep. After a lot of searching I found that this is probably related to the USB ports which are not powering off. OS is Win XP Pro.

Have already diabled the BIOS setting for the network card wake up - so that is not the issue.

Any help?
