In order for it to work you myst fwd a port on your linksys UDP only to xxx.xxx.xxx.255 because your machine does not have an IP when in standby. This works in mt scenario I have port 32767 UDP port fwd to 192.168.1.255 on magic packets I put the MAC the ip with a subnet of 255.255.255.255 this sends it directly to you machine and voila its on.
