Trouble Configuring Wake On Lan

As the title implies I'm having trouble setting up Wake-On-LAN with my Debian box. Here is the output from ethtool and my /etc/network/interfaces:

Code:

# cat /etc/network/interfaces
# /etc/network/interfaces - configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)

# The loopback interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
    ethernet-wol g


# ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
    Supported ports: [ TP ]
    Supported link modes:   10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 
                            100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 
                            1000baseT/Full 
    Supported pause frame use: No
    Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
    Advertised link modes:  10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 
                            100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 
                            1000baseT/Full 
    Advertised pause frame use: No
    Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
    Speed: 100Mb/s
    Duplex: Full
    Port: Twisted Pair
    PHYAD: 2
    Transceiver: internal
    Auto-negotiation: on
    MDI-X: off (auto)
    Supports Wake-on: pumbg
    Wake-on: g
    Current message level: 0x00000007 (7)
                   drv probe link
    Link detected: yes

It looks like its set up right, but when I test starting the machine from another Debian computer on the LAN I use this machine's mac address as the only parameter with both etherwake and wakeonlan and get nothing. I read the wiki on this, but have never set this up before any don't know what I'm doing. Any help much appreciated.

wakeonlan

WAKEONLAN(1)						User Contributed Perl Documentation					      WAKEONLAN(1)

NAME

       wakeonlan - Perl script to wake up computers

SYNOPSIS

       wakeonlan [-h] [-v] [-i IP_address] [-p port] [-f file] [[hardware_address] ...]

DESCRIPTION

       This script sends 'magic packets' to wake-on-lan enabled ethernet adapters and motherboards, in order to switch on the called PC. Be sure
       to connect the NIC with the motherboard if neccesary, and enable the WOL function in the BIOS.

       The 'magic packet' consists of 6 times 0xFF followed by 16 times the hardware address of the NIC. This sequence can be encapsulated in any
       kind of packet. This script uses UDP packets.

OPTIONS

       -h  Displays the help information.

       -v  Displays the script version.

       -i ip_address
	   Destination IP address. Unless you have static ARP tables you should use some kind of broadcast address (the broadcast address of the
	   network where the computer resides or the limited broadcast address). Default: 255.255.255.255 (the limited broadcast address).

       -p port
	   Destination port. Default: 9 (the discard port).

       -f file
	   File with hardware addresses of wakeable computers. For an example check the file lab001.wol in the examples subdirectory.

EXAMPLES

       Using the limited broadcast address (255.255.255.255):

	   $ wakeonlan 01:02:03:04:05:06
	   $ wakeonlan 01:02:03:04:05:06 01:02:03:04:05:07

       Using a subnet broadcast address:

	   $ wakeonlan -i 192.168.1.255 01:02:03:04:05:06

       Using another destination port:

	   $ wakeonlan -i 192.168.1.255 -p 1234 01:02:03:04:05:06

       Using a file as source of hardware and IP addresses:

	   $ wakeonlan -f examples/lab001.wol
	   $ wakeonlan -f examples/lab001.wol 01:02:03:04:05:06
