Re: ASUS EB1007 eeeBox PC bolted onto the back of a 4:3 FlatScreen Monitor

[<fschnittke@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I suppose you could always try disabling power settings in the BIOS of 
the ASUS box.

Here's how we set ours:

  Suspend Mode			S1 (POS) only
  ACPI 2.0 Support	        Disabled
  Restore on Power Loss		Last State


Maybe something's putting the network card to sleep....
