I would suggest you first start your computer and then plug in your tab and then turn your desktop in sleep mode.....
When I plug in my Galaxy Tab 10.1 to the USB port on my sleeping Vista machine, the tablet will take the computer out of sleep mode.
I plug the tablet into a self-powered USB hub for charging but do not need computer functions.
I disabled the Galaxy Tab in the device manager but did not find resolution.
