system doesnt wake from sleep

I have an interesting problem. I am using s3 sleep to sleep my system which works as designed. When i go to tower/main to wake the system it no longer works after an update.  I know the system is in sleep because my box blinks when in sleep mode.  oddly the system will wake randomly to some unknown input.  I dont think this is an s3 problem as my understanding is s3 does not wake the system. I wanted to go directly do the ip address instead of using tower so i check ifconfig eth0 and there is no ip listed there as it is in other examples i have seen on the forum.  I have yet to mount my array but don't think this should impact what im working on. Wanted to make sure this works as this is a important function to have before building out.  Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks

eth0: flags=6211<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SLAVE,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        ether [mac address removed]  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
        RX packets 807  bytes 445690 (435.2 KiB)
        RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 1135  bytes 1073296 (1.0 MiB)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

to add to this i do have an ip under setting ipv4 and ipv6 which does work when I use that in the browser.

Seems to me that it wakes randomly there must be a way for me to initiate the wake out side of hard button on the case. 

It also does not wake using the ip from the settings tab. 

edit 2: 

i followed the instructions here to check my settings make sure that wake on: g was set. And built out the bat file.  Also did not wake the system.

edit 3: after checking all my bios settings with no success.  I decided to uninstall and reinstall s3 sleep. Upon reinstall I can access the settings of s3 sleep however, an new development. The sleep button under the main tab is no longer present, confirmed running.  The frustrating thing is that this had functioned perfectly for months and suddenly stopped so I know it can function.  I might need to find another solution as a basic sleep/wake function is required for my purposes.
