If you're using ACPI, you probably want to poke around /etc/acpi/events
and look for the event that's being triggered when the lid closes.

If you're using APM (i.e. on an older machine), you'll probably have to
disable suspend-on-lid-close in your BIOS.

A little more info about this laptop would help ...  I use an old 
Thinkpad 570E as a print server / internet gateway.  It runs all the
time with the lid shut.
