I have a strange problem with a computer which i have just formatted and reinstalled windows XP on. When I connect to the internet (via NTL), and then subsequently try to shut down the machine, it wont let me. The system just seems to hang and I have to turn off the computer manually. There is no other software on the machine so there cant be any other programs causing a conflict, so i'm really a bit lost as to what's happening. The cable modem is fine as it has been tried on another machine.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Does the computer shutdown when the cable modem is off? Try checking on your Wake up on LAN options. Disable if necessary.

The cable modem is always on, so that never gets turned on, but i will have a look at the Wake up in LAN. These are in BIOS arent they?
