I got WOL working, but only once?!

I've got one of the Zotac 9300-itx mobos, which is famously incapable of waking on usb, so I decided to use the wake on lan function to bring it out of S3 instead.
My o2 wireless box II is now set up correctly and my first test worked perfectly (via a magic packet from my HTC Magic). The problem is, I can't get it to work again for love nor money, all the settings are the same, I've set the router to give static IP addresses, I tried rebooting the router, rebooting the PC, but with absolutely no luck!
I even tried downloading a different app on my phone, but that didn't work either.

Any suggestions? (apart from getting the rev3 9300 itx, which does manage wake on usb, but isn't available in this country yet!)

The PC doesn't have any problem coming out of S3 when pattern match is enabled, but that problem is that it doesn't stay asleep for more than about 10 seconds unless that's disabled. Is it possible to configure pattern matching so it only detects certain things?

Ta in advance for any help!
 
Have had problems with my router also, but turning the "LAN Broadcast" setting to "on" in the iPhone app and it wakes all the time. Most likely its a router issue.
