Windows 8 + Keeps waking up automatically

I put my pc to sleep and it will wake itself up quite quickly

I've been reading about and used command prompt "powercfg -requests" which returns the following:

Code:

C:\Windows\system32>powercfg -requests
DISPLAY:
None.

SYSTEM:
[DRIVER] ASUS Xonar DX Audio Device (PCI\VEN_13F6&DEV_8788&SUBSYS_82751043&REV_0
0\5&1267410f&0&2000E4)
An audio stream is currently in use.
[DRIVER] \FileSystem\srvnet
An active remote client has recently sent requests to this machine.

AWAYMODE:
None.

EXECUTION:
None.

PERFBOOST:
None.

FULLSCREENVIDEO:
None.

I've got "Allow computer to sleep" in multimedia in power options and tried some registry entries from another website.

I don't want to totally disable media streaming because I use it, I just want the PC to sleep and ignore whatever is requesting it.

Never had these problems in windows 7 so I'm sure it's possible some how?

powercfg -lastwake gives me:

Code:

C:\Windows\system32>powercfg -lastwake
Wake History Count - 1
Wake History [0]
  Wake Source Count - 1
  Wake Source [0]
    Type: Device
    Instance Path: PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1503&SUBSYS_E0001458&REV_04\3&11583659&0&C8

Looks like its my network connection then? Can I disable wake on LAN?

Ah ofc, knew I'd seen it somewhere.

Disabled Wake on Lan, will see if that works

Not got intel smart connect enabled in bios too? That wakes to connect to internet if enabled to fetch new emails, facebook info etc depending how it's configured.
