Wake on lan (WOL) Not working at all
#12
It's strange that it makes a difference whether the machine you're using to wake it is on wifi or ethernet. I don't have Windows to test, but WOL is working on my XBMCbuntu machine (connected via ethernet), and it works the same if I ssh into my Ubuntu NAS (also connected via ethernet) and run etherwake, or if I use a WOL widget to wake it up from a MacBook that's connected via WiFi. The Android app works the same way when connected to the local network via WiFi, and even with WiFi turned off on my phone, I can use a DynDNS address instead of a local IP and it will wake my XBMCbuntu box.

I can also wake it up from the Mac (WiFi), Android (local WiFi, not over the internet) or my NAS (ethernet) from a full shutdown or in hibernation. It doesn't have to be suspended.

When you enabled wake in your BIOS, did you have any other options? I remember there were a couple of types of Wake on LAN in my BIOS. What do you get if you run the following command?

Code:
ethtool eth0 | grep Wake-on
XBMCbuntu 11.0
Zotac ZBOX Blu-ray HD-ID34
URC RF-20 (configured with Flirc)
