Send the packet to the computer from the CM server and see if it comes through. If it does, it's probably not a network problem.

I tried your power into BIOS trick, and it still wouldn’t wake. I looked at the BIOS settings, and Deep Sleep Control was enabled. The article below suggests that disabling this might work, but it did not. If the computer is fully powered off, it still will not wake. The article also states: These systems should wake from the System Power States: Sleep (S3) or Hibernate (S4). The SHUTDOWN (S5)power state is not supported in Windows 7 and SHUTDOWN (S5) and Hybrid SHUTDOWN (S4) power states are not supported in Windows 8 for Wake-On-LAN.

Because of this, it won’t be able to turn on the computer when packets are sent. Check BIOS and / or Windows to see which is turning off the NIC. The next trick will tell you how to narrow down which is causing the problem. Is This A Windows Problem or BIOS Problem: One interesting trick you can do is power off the computer, and then power it back on going into BIOS. Sometimes, Windows turns the NIC off when the computer is powered down, and this action will turn back on the NIC. Now, power off the computer (make sure it doesn’t boot into Windows) and try to wake up the computer. If it wakes up, and it never woke up before, you are probably looking at a Windows setting problem or a driver bug. If it doesn’t wake up, check the BIOS. make sure all the settings are correct, and if they are look into updating or downgrading the BIOS.
