I'm working this out right now.
I should clarify this, however. Even in the current code, I believe
that the "On Idle" action, if it's one that switches players to SN,
switches ALL the players.

You should really check your WOL settings on your NIC. What OS are you
using? If linux, what does 'ethtool eth0' report? It ought to say
something like this:
Code:
--------------------
Settings for eth0:
Supported ports: [ TP ]
Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
1000baseT/Full
Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
1000baseT/Full
Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
Speed: 1000Mb/s
Duplex: Full
Port: Twisted Pair
PHYAD: 0
Transceiver: internal
Auto-negotiation: on
Supports Wake-on: umbg
Wake-on: g
Current message level: 0x00000007 (7)
Link detected: yes
--------------------
The important part there is "Wake-on: g" ..which means that the system
will wake ONLY if it hears a magic packet..not on any old lan
activity.
With Windows, make sure your NIC's 'Properties->Configure->Power
Management->Only allow management stations to bring the computer out of
standby' option is checked. Again, that's a long-winded way of saying
that only magic packets can wake the machine.
