Works on my poweredges - it is in the power part of the BIOS settings on those.

I'm pretty sure I don't have a power section in my bios, I looked through every option lastnight and I only found under integrated devices, settings for both nics, they were set to Without PXE so I figured I'd see what PXE was.

This enabled the intel pre executable environment, which gives me CTRL+S at bootup for more lan settings. In this menu their is a Enable WOL (was set to NO, changed to yes)

Is this a plugin network card or onboard?
(IIRC some cards have a WOL header that needs connecting to a WOL header on the motherboard...)

They're Onboard. I searched the mainboard lastnight for any jumpers, or anything labeled WOL and couldn't find anything.

Another thing: IIRC, WOL packets are broadcast - can you start the server, run ethereal and send the WOL packet to make sure it actually gets there - I have seen switches that don't pass certain broadcast packets (well, these were DHCP) unless specifically configured.

I found I had the nosmurfs options set in shorewall on my intranet adapter, which I disabled. The 2 switches I have right now are a Linksys WRT54G v5 (with all services disabled, dhcp, router, nothing plugged into the WAN port), then for the upstairs I have a 8 port Netgear 10/100 FastEthernet switch. I'm guessing the crappy linksys is causing the problems, either that or dhcpd or shorewall.

Also, what user are you sending the packet as? Sometimes you need to be root. (Though I think wakeonlan is a perl script that does UDP and works as any user...)

I've tried every combination I can think of, regular user, sudo, sudo bash, su. While running each of the wol programs I have installed (etherwake, wakeonlan). I've tried port 7 instead of 9, I've tried setting up an /etc/ethers file with the ip>mac address.

On my Vista box, I haven't tried running it from an admin command prompt.

Still no wake on lan from either my router, or my workstation.
