142075 2003-05-07 07:50:00 Hi guys...

I am just wondering.. my network card are all connected to the switch.. just a question, you know when the computer is switch off, how come on the switch, the light for my computer in that slot is still on? i got 3 of the realtek technology's network card, 2 of them the light from the switch will turn off if the computer is off, however, the last one, the light is still on even my computer is off.

Thank and i hope you understanding my meaning

142076 2003-05-07 07:56:00 Will be due to the fact there is always residual power in the motherboard, allowing for the on switch etc to work...

Usually this only happens if the LAN card is integrated into the motherboard, it's not common if it is a PCI LAN card.

thanks for that

hmmm this network is a PCI Lan Card, other 2 are also PCI Lan Card... but this 2 can turn off itself after the computer is off, however, only the third one doesn't... so do i leave it as it is or is that a way that i can turn that off???

Thanks again
