Csimbi, what command are you using to shut down?
You need to do
shutdown -P
To ensure that the system is turned off after halting.
Also if you have limited physical access, I'd recommend a remote serial
console and remote power control, as relying on WoL without the ability
to force the machine *off* is going to be difficult.
