Support suggested that I upgrade to Squeezecenter nightly. I did that, updated the firmware on the machines and... here's my reply to them:> I did what you suggested, nothing changed. > > As a last resort I tried disabling my network card and using the > onboard network on my motherboard. > > At first it seemed to be working, with the machine remaining in > stand-by. But when I was not able to wake up the server from the two > Squeezeboxes I realized what was happening. > > Both SBs still had the MAC address of the add-on network card saved in > memory and so they were sending the magic packet to a card that was > disconnected. > > As soon as I manually entered the MAC address of the onboard network > card and put the SBs back on, the server started.

It doesn't say "Waking up > Squeezecenter", it just says "Connecting to Squeezecenter".
