I have just spent an hour of very interesting network eavesdropping
using Netshark and WoL magic packet generating software, before
understanding what was going on. I have just switched over to a new PC
with WoL capability. Having done a factory reset, the 2 SB3's are now
functioning correctly with WoL.

I think the confusing thing about it all, is that once the SB3 has
detected a new network address and been told to use that as the server,
you would think that the MAC address would be included.
What you end up with is a perfectly functioning SB3 / server
combination, playing from the server to the SB3 without a hint of a
problem, but lurking inside the SB3 is an old MAC address from the
previous server. So WoL just doesn't work (unless your old server has
WoL and is still connected).

Shame I didn't find this thread first, but there is a lot of
correspondence buried in the forums.
Now I need to find out how to get the PC to shut down, it appears to
ignore the power shutdown settings at the moment.
