Wake on Lan is an etremely simple packet.
If it does not work, I would recommend testing the capabilities of your device you wish to wake using a PC application on the local net of the device.

There are MANY free WOL packages with source code available.

The poster already said he's tested it using other software and it works, I think his point is, that his use of a Mikrotik device didn't.

Yes but is the interface on the particular RB433AH physically connected to the local network in which the Device he wishes to wake resides?

Have a look at a WOL packet....
There really is not alot that can go wrong.

he said that too. "target pc at eher1 interface (through switch)" so the answer is in the original post! :-)
