My book live never sleeps

suley,

I’m running WinXP SP3. However I don’t think that makes any difference as the MBL 3TB will not sleep/standby  even if it is the only device connected to the router - all with no remote access, media or ftp enabled. In fact the MBL won’t go to sleep/standby even if it is not connected to the router. i.e. when it’s not connected to anything.
