It's a bit hard to guage thus far but I'm suspecting that WOL in the end just isn't a great option.

Hmm, WOL on my old mobo was hopeless - with it enabled the PC wouldn't even shut down. Maybe a higher end NIC is the answer?

The other issue is this freezing the I had found with the VMC box after using the extender beyond the standby timeout and it seems that this had nothing at all to do with MST. What I have discovered though is that it is not the entire machine that is frozen, it seems to be just the MCE front end. The only way I can do anything with it when this happens is to use the keyboard to bring up the task manager and then forcibly close the app or restart the machine. This is very odd behaviour and leaves me with not many options to test short of a clean install.

Sounds like you have found out why there is the "when sharing media" setting in the power options.
