"It does not have option to wake computer without sending magic packet. If that was possible, each packet that arrives would wake it up. And you would be surprised how many packets can come to any port that is alive.
Magic packet serves purpose to differentiate normal network traffic from one that should actually wake computer up."
You can still wake your mac(any model post 2004 or so) by sending a magic packet. The new bonjour proxy service is just a way for your snow leopard mac to broadcast it's services to give the effect of still being awake while it's actually sleeping, and then the BaseStation (must be apple) will send it's own version of a magic packet. This is a pretty cool feature, but is not at all nescesary to wake your mac from sleep. All you need is a Static ip or dyndns.com accnt and a router to forward the magic packet and a software to generate the packet.
