I just resolved a "never-go-to-sleep" issue, which turned out to be a feature of the DHCP properties of the router. About every 30 seconds, the router would poll my network, resulting in each computer that had entered "sleep-mode" being reawakened. It didn't matter how long the sleep delay was, within 30 seconds of going to sleep it was back awake.
So, the solution was to put my home network on static IP addresses. The router no longer polls to see if a new address is needed by any device, and my squeezebox will now wake up the slimserver when I press the power button. Note: if you do go to static IP addresses, you will need to unplug your SB3 from the wall-wart, then go through the menu to manually enter the network connection information (SB IP address, gateway address, DNS address, Subnet Mask, Slimserver Computer IP address, and all that other stuff). Now, if I could only figure out an easy way to get the SB3 to automatically wake the Slimserver computer when it has a song to play but the slimserver asleep.
