Problem - Computer refuses to go into sleep mode. When I force sleep by clicking
the power button on the task bar the computer goes to sleep for about 5 - 20
seconds and then wakes up and stays awake.

The cause; Installation of a gateway router from AT&T to provide TV and internet
service.

AT&T tech support claims no known issues with this router, yet the computer slept
just fine prior to installation of this router, and if I power down the router the
computer sleeps with no problem. This is not a solution since the router must
remain powered up to provide TV service to my home.

I have searched the internet for a solution, and have performed all the steps in
the tutorial authored by Brink to no avail.

Looking for ideas., anyone?
