I am using Windows XP and shut down using the "Start" button.
The computer turns off OK. If the 'phone rings, however, the computer powers up. How can I disable this?
Your motherboard probably supports "wake on ring" as well as "wake on LAN".
Go into the BIOS and turn it off.

I have an old PII and this works for me.
Presuming you're using a modem and dialup ...
Go into your BIOS power saving settings and disable the activity monitoring on whichever port your modem is connected to.

Does this only happen with 0898 numbers? ;)
