Don't think so. 'Wakeup on LAN', if enabled, means that the system, even if 'switched off', will reboot if it receives data on the Ethernet connection (not sure if ANY data, or a particular type). I had what I thought was a strange problem with a PC which insisted on rebooting after I'd 'switched it off', and it was because 'Wake-up on LAN' was enabled. It's usually a setting in the BIOS.
