The green light simply indicates the NIC is receiving power. The system is
shut down and all networking is dead.

> Is the network connection in XP still "on" after the PC is shut down and
thus potentially vulnerable 24/7?  I'm on  3 PC network at home, and the 2
XP machines still show a green light, indicating that they are talking to
the router via the NIC after the computers are shut down.  The 3rd PC is a
98 machine, and when it shuts down, the network connection indication loses
the green light.
