I've got a nifty little tool that enables me to WOL using a Mac Address. I guess you have to know the Mac address, right?
 
I don't know mate, when I was looking for a tool

I ended up using a command prompt tool called mc-wol, but it uses MAC addresses as you say...

arp -a 192.168.1.50

that will give you the mac address for that IP
 
Aye it's mc-wol I'm using. And yeah it needs the mac address, which you obviously can't find if the computer has gone off line :p.

I know how to find the mac address, but that won't help!
 
If anyone is interested this is what I have in a cmd to wake up my laptop at home:

Code: 
@echo off
echo Waking Macgyver...
c:\mc-wol 00:23:AE:AF:37:72 | find /i "sending"
ping -n 10 127.0.0.1 > null
