I am in the process of building a new desktop computer to replace
my old obsolete one. I've used a Gigabyte S-series
GA-P35-DS3L/S3L motherboard with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor
and two 1GB SDRAM memory sticks. I have this computer up and
running, using Windows XP Pro, and it works very well except I
can not get it to connect to my household network. This network
centers around an Actiontec 54 Mbps Wireless DSL Gateway. I have
my laptop and my wife's kitchen computer connected to this
gateway by means of wireless cards, but my old desktop has a Cat
5 cable connection to the gateway. This desktop computer is the
"manager" for the gateway.

Next problem;
I can't get the new monitor, or, for that matter, the computer to
go into sleep mode or any other inactive phase. I'm using an Acer
22 inch monitor, and have the Display Properties settings such
that it goes into screen saver mode after 10 minutes of
inactivity. This works as expected, but it won't go on into sleep
or off mode. What settings should I check and how do I locate
these settings? I've gone through the BIOS settings and tried
every option that I thought might accomplish this, but did not
get the expected results.

Thanks, Gordon
