NIC showing up as on when comptuer is off
OK this is rather odd, my PCI NIC card, D-link DFE-530TX+ is connected to a router...it has these little indicator lights to show whether there's a connection or not...When all the computers are off but still connected, all their appropriate lights go out on teh router except for mine. Yep my computer is off but it still looks on the router as if it's on.
I don't have wake-on-LAN enabled either.
Just wondering what causes that? Thanks.

Does the card support WOL even though its disabled? - it could be getting standby power and just set to ignore the WOL packets.
