Hi pippin,

Amazingly quick response! Thanks!

I'm pretty sure I caused it. Here's what I did:
1. Opened iPeng and played around with squeezebox server
2. Shut down the squeezebox server PC, while leaving iPeng open.
3. Tried to use iPeng after the server was shut down; WOL worked. (good
thing :) )
4. Closed and reopened iPeng; observed the server disappeared from
iPeng. This might be a bug: I was expecting it to remember. :(
5. Added the server's IP manually under "Settings->iPeng settings->Add
Server" (but did not populate the MAC address - I should have done
this, that's my mistake!)
6. Observed that WOL would not work with the manually added IP - even
after switching the server PC on and off again, it didn't save the MAC
address into the manual entry. :(

So it seems that:
* Automatically detected servers aren't preserved between closing and
opening iPeng
* Manually added servers don't get their MAC addresses updated.

This is iPhone OS 3.1.2 (I have a 3g :) )

I haven't tested yet, but I'm pretty certain manually adding the server
will work around the problem. I'll let you know.
