I downloaded a WOL app on my Android phone. Before I put the PC into the
sleep mode, I ran Wireshark on this PC to verify that it could receive
the magic packet. It did capture the WOL magic packet. So I put the PC
into sleep mode and sent the WOL magic packet from the Android phone.
The PC did wake up. So far so good....

However, I tried again and it did not work this time. So I pressed the
power key on the remote control of the SB3. It did turn on the PC. Then
I used Wireshark on the PC again and sent the WOL magic packet from my
Android phone. The PC did receive the magic packet again.

So I put the PC into sleep mode for the 3rd time and sent the WOL magic
packet from the Android phone. But the PC did not wake up. So I used the
SB3 remote control again to turn on the PC. Then I sent another WOL
magic packet from Android and did see it on the PC Wireshark. 

Then I tried again and it still did not work. Very strange. Can someone
explain to me what I should do next?

I also tried the WOL tool from simply-ware.com on my laptop. However,
the PC could not receive the magic packet. On the laptop, I tried both
Ethernet and WiFi connection, but the PC couldn't receive the magic
packet from either interface. 

Do I have to do anything special on my laptop to send WOL magic
packets?
