But am I not on the same local lan when I am logged via ssh to my gateway 
192.168.0.1? The desktop that doesn´t wake is 192.168.0.3 . The one that
does wake correctly is 192.168.0.5.

The computer wakes up correctly when I ether-wake it inside the lan, so, I 
guess this eliminates this possibilty?

This is a home lan, very small, there´s only one 8-port switch:

internet --- > cable-modem ---> coyote linux gateway --->  desktop1

                 ---> desktop2
