Since I connected my PC to Internet, I have run into the following problem:
- when I power off my desktop PC (Start/Shut down/Shut down), it shuts down
completely, but then again re-starts by itself after about 2 minutes...!!!

I did not have such a problem before I connected to Internet.
The PC does not restart, if I unplug the modem, so currently this is my only
(but very inconvenient) method of making sure that the PC shuts down...

So I am wondering if this problem is somehow related to some settings for
LAN Ethernet control device? Which setting is allowing the modem activity to
power on the PC?

I am using:
- MS Windows XP Professional SP2
- Kaspersky Lab Anti-Virus Personal
- MS Windows Firewall is enabled
- I do not share any files and I do not have any file-sharing software
installed on my PC
- Remote assistance possibility is disabled
- In MS Windows "Power management" I have disabled hibernate and suspend
modes, but it does not help to solve the problem

Pleeeeease, could you help me with advice on how to find a solution (Power
Management? Settings for LAN Ethernet control device? BIOS setup?)

Check the BIOS, I think you have a setting that says Power On LAN {or
something}. If you have disable it
