I've got 3 computers at my house. All 3 are using shared internet using one of the computers, which has a built-in ADSL modem. For that reason, this computer is on 24/7, since anybody at any time might want to use internet (as my bro, who goes to sleep at 2am, just as well as my dad, who goes to work early). My brother's computer is usually off when unused, and my dad's computer goes into standby mode automatically when left unused for a prolonged period of time. However, my computer is always on, and it's not only wastes power but also produces some noise, which I don't like. I'm planning to change some parts in it so that it'll be much quiter; however, the problem of power saving is still at hand. I'd like to let it go to standby, but can't because of the internet connection. So, how can I make my computer go to sleep while still keeping alive LAN and internet sharing?
