I have it working on my Cube. I'm using a wired and not wireless connection.

One question: are you sending the packet across a subnet? I realize most
folks don't think they have their houses subnetted, but if you cross an ABS
or router, you may be crossing a subnet.

Magic packets can't cross subnets. To wake up my Cube from my office, I ssh
into my linux server and send a WOL packet from a perl script because I
can't send it across the two routers.
