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.
Thanks for checking it. I'm not home now, but when I am I will check if i can wake my machine using the same laptop connected with a wire. I will also try to wake the machine using the remote android app being not on the network.

Nice, I will try that also. But im afraid that wont be work cause as I said in the original post that my power supply doesn't has a physical on/off button.

Code:
ethtool eth0 | grep Wake-on
Will report back when I'm home
