I put my iMac G5 (2.0Ghz, 2Gb Ram, 10.4.5) into sleep mode whenever not in use. Lately it started to wake up by itself.. sometimes at night, sometimes during the day. Can nayone help me out here?

Go to system preferences, Energy Saver, Options

See if "Wake when the modem detects a ring" or "Wake for Ethernet network administrator access"

Do you also have your computer schedule to wake/sleep? (under engergy saver)

Thanks! I didn't even look in there. I hadn't touched the energy saver settngs for quite a long time. Maybe something changed after the last os update. Thanks anyway.
