In XP, go to Network Connections, right click the adapter, properties.
Click the Advanced tab, there is a wake on LAN from power off setting.

I've done that previously. There are two settings related to waking:
"Wake on Link" = disabled , "Wake on Settings" = OS Controlled. I did
change "wake on settings" to Disabled, no change.
I am almost sure that I've got all of the BIOS and OS settings correct.
The demon just does not repond normally.
Now I'm thinking I may need to reinstall the adapter, assuming a driver
corruption. Kidding myself?

Is the NIC waking the computer up or are you just trying to get the LED
to
go out?


The (on-board) NIC is not waking the computer up.
I am trying to get the LED on the NIC to go out.
But, I want the second computer that is networked to this computer to:
1) Stop reporting that the LAN is connected, when it is not (the computer
is
off, not standby, not hibernate: off).
2) Report that "a network cable is unplugged" when the computer is shut
off.
Neither will happen as long as the NIC is powered on when the computer is
shut down. So it's not just a matter of getting the LED to go out, it's a
matter of getting the NIC to shut off.
The second computer shuts down completely and is the ICS computer, so I've
eliminated the possibility that it is still communicating with the problem
box after shutdown.
Thanks
