Wirelessly impossible, you say?
Why would Cambridge Computers add a Wake on Lan utility on a software (vxUtil) made for a wireless device if WOL is wirelessly impossible?

How are Magic Packets sent?
Magic packets are sent using a directed broadcast, which is a broadcast to all of the machines on a particular subnet. For example, a directed broadcast address could be specified as 192.168.100.255, which would go to all machines on the 192.168.10.x/24 network.
Many administrators turn off routing of subnet-directed broadcasts, because they can be abused by hackers in order to generate large amounts of extra network traffic.

The "Wake On LAN Utility" is a small, under development utility that will power up other computers in your network. Generally, the target machine will have to be on the same subnet as the computer from which you are running this application (since the "magic packet" is a broadcast), however you can get around this by building off the code base and implementing your own routing solution.

So I wish people would know what they are talking about before spouting off...
