It's always rebooted on a request to shutdown. A fix, if I remember it right, that didn't last long was to go into BIOS and toggle the BIOS power management features. IIRC, it was set to disable, and I enabled it. Since then, i haven't really used that gateway anymore. You have to consider that some PCI devices can power-on a box (think: Remote Wakeup [which is done over the LAN]). The times that it does actually do it, don't bother me, i'll get around to forcing it down with a power button or power cord when it bugs me enough that it's still powered on. >:) -- Tim Judd I will top-post when I feel like it. For those who are so demanding everyone bottom-post, You'll just have to forgive others when they choose to top-post.
