Did you confirm (for ex. with Wireshark) that wol actually sends the packet?
If you are trying to wake the machine that is not booted, this is
primarily dependent on the BIOS of the target machine to wake it up.
In my experience, BIOSes are prone to losing settings, due to low
battery, or other (sometimes mysterious) reasons.
Please confirm that BIOS setting "Wake On LAN" is on on target.
