Cable Modem not allowing computer to shut down

Hello everyone,

I have an Ericsson PipeRider HM200c cable modem and while it is
plugged in, my computer won't shut down. Here's what happens:

If I tell Windows to shut down, the computer goes all the way until it
has to shut down, but at the final step, it just restarts.

Ok, but if I try it another way, if I use the button on the case and
hold it for 4 seconds, it shuts down, stays shut for maybe 1-2 seconds
and then turns on again - by itself.

Now, if I unplug the cable modem from the electric outlet (to turn it
off), everything works perfectly, the computer shuts down normally.

The only time I have seen the computer off and the modem on, is when
there was a power blackout. After the power came back, the modem was
on, but the computer didn't start automatically.

Do you have any idea how I can allow my computer to shut down with the
modem on?

This has been bugging me for a lot of time, and I can't allow the
computer to go into stand-by mode, hibernation mode or anything
similar.

Thanks a lot in advance!

It sounds as though your network card (or USB port) is set to 'wake on LAN'.

You want to disable this option.

In most modern computers a setting for this can usually be found in the
BIOS.

Sometimes it's located in an 'Advanced' section; it may also be found in a
section such as 'I/O control', 'On-board Peripherals', etc.

If the BIOS settings don't offer this control you might need to check the
driver settings for your network card.

The computer must be set to "Wakeup ON LAN". Check the power
management, BIOS settings, and the software for the LAN card in the
computer.
