I should have read more closely. Sounds like a Windows+driver issue to
me, but I've not run SS on Windows, so it's just speculation:

1. Are you sure the driver is waking only on magic packets, and not on
unicast/multicast traffic as well? It is common for both to be
possible, and as SBs have such a chatty protocol this could interrupt
the shutdown process. SB3s are "soft off" and communicate with the
server even though they appear to be switched off. SqueezeNetwork
essentially replaces the local SlimServer for net radio, so the SB3s
will not communicate (often) with your server whilst on
SqueezeNetwork.

2. What NIC are you using? What driver version (Windows standard, OEM)?
Might be worth trying a NIC with a different chipset, from another
vendor, to see whether this changes the symptoms.

I can confirm that my own BSD based SlimServer wakes up at
inappropriate times if unicast WOL is enabled, seemingly due to traffic
from SB3s. Configuring the NIC to wake *only* on magic packets
completely resolved my problems.

Have no direct experience with this, but hopefully this helps
