well I checked my router and it gives me three options for a router MAC address
use default address (currently on this option)
use computer mac address
use this mac address
so should I change this to use computer mac address? maybe that is my problem that the magic packs are not being received by my pc as the router is stopping it before it gets to the PC hardware.
my router is a netgear WNDR3300.

Right, you'll have to enable it (for some reason) via ethtool. Search the forums and/or the wiki for detailed instructions.

Given it's activated in BIOS and you're waking from the same network, it should work. No idea why it should fail.
