Thanks for taking the time to reply with good information MacInWin. None of that should be impacting the failure to wake, but I have noted that because I have a lot of external drives attached normally (currently 6), wake up is slow as the OS checks each drive to make sure it is available before giving me the login prompt. Also, sleeping doesn't log out the user, although on wake up it may well ask for the login again for security, the user is not technically logged out of the account in sleep mode. That connection being maintained is normal, and how it is designed to work. And I don't know what you mean by "not to log off while sleeping," unless you mean that they are not disconnecting from the Airport. If you really want to know, Little Snitch is a third party network monitor that will tell you what's going on. Unless the traffic becomes more than a few trivial packets per second, you probably don't have much to worry about. In fact, the two Macs may well be pinging one another if you have the Airport off, as they are also looking for an access point. That identification and denial takes a few packets. If your WiFi is on on the MBPs, and if a neighbor, or someone driving by your home, has a WiFi device that is searching for an access point, your WiFi will identify itself and then deny access. So far they haven't found a solution to the freeze, but I have faith.) (If OWC can't figure it out, I apologize but I'll be pestering you all with another forum question. That started when I installed the new SSD.

Only a prolonged press of the power button will free it by re-booting. The network still shows packets being sent & received.ĭo any of you know what is causing packets to be sent & received when all this stuff is off?ĭo you think the traffic is the reason for not logging out when sleeping for xx minutes?Ī side note to mention, that I don't think is related to the constant network traffic, is that the 10.11.4 computer freezes when it sleeps. I figured turning Airport off surely would stop the packets.

'Wake For Ethernet' is not checked (it's off).

The modem for my network is in 'stealth' mode so people can't see it out in the wild. I shut down my printer which is connected to the modem by wire, but the modem is wireless. System preferences is set to Log Out after xx Minutes. They will sleep & the monitors will turn off, they just don't log out. I have constant network traffic showing in Activity Monitor and I think that is causing both of our computers not to log off while sleeping.

(One MacBook Pro is using 10.6.8 & one is using 10.11.4)

I can't figure out how to stop the network traffic. Activity Monitor always shows network traffic as packets being sent & received.
