Hi all,
David Brown, who isn't on WAMUG but who has been following this thread, has
suggested that the iMac might be set to auto re-start on power failure. I
haven't been into the new house, and I won't be going there today, but I'm
certain he is right. I don't usually have that feature set,
Hi Kaye and All,
Though I do not see how my suggestion further down can help in your case, but
you could ask your electrician to ensure that the power plug in which your
computer is connected is properly wired. If the return or neutral cable is
incorrectly connected to the on/off switch, if
Yes Kaye, time to experiment. Can you connect via WiFi?
If you connect via Wi-Fi plug the cable into UNI-D1

Hi Kaye
Though it shouldn’t really affect it when it’s “off”, but a couple fo things to
try/check -
In System Preference - Energy Saver. Untick “Wake for Network access”. If it is
ticked.
Also try an SMC reset. On the iMac, this is to shut it down, unplug all the
cables including the power

I'll do some experiments - pull out the ethernet connection, for example, or
change the port on the modem. If I find out anything that explains it I'll let
you know.
Cheers, Kaye
Hmmm 樂
Are you plugged directly into the NBN termination box?
Is the system status light ON?

Yes - the modem is plugged directly into the NBN termination box. The modem is
off - no lights showing at all. The only

Absolutely. The room's isolation switch is turned off before we leave the site
- it has no power going to it. The modem is on a separate power circuit that
stays on, but the modem itself is definitely off.

recently connected the NBN to a house we are building, so I have the modem and
an old (~2007) iMac in the house, connected by ethernet. Because we aren't
living there I turn both computer and modem off most of the
