Go into your network settings. Locate the properties for your ethernet (nic) card, and disable "wake on lan".

Since you didn't mention your OS, this is for W9x.

Right click network neighborhood, select properties
   or in control panael double click network icon
You should see a list with your nic listed. Click on it to highlight it. Select properties. Click the advanced tab.

You can also disable the LAN Wakeup call from the BIOS.
