My screen saver only works when i am running wireless or no internet at all,
at school i am hooked up to ethernet in the dorms and as long as the etehrnet
is plugged in, the screen saver will not come on. I realize this is petty,
any suggestions?

I would suspect a 'wake on lan' setting in the bios.
