What computer? OS and version? Is it a laptop with a battery? If a laptop, does it not wake when plugged in? Or not wake only on battery?
Do you use the power functions to sleep the computer manually before leaving? Or do you let it sleep automatically? Do you know how to adjust Power and Sleep in Control Panel?
