Without the Service Tags of the individual systems, I am unable to determine exactly which network adapters were factory-installed. If you require more immediate assistance, I would recommend that you contact Dell Technical Support
via email, or by phone at 1-800-624-9896.
Before attempting to wake the system, ensure that it has been powered down from within Windows. Forcing a powerdown of the system using the power button will result in the system being placed in a state that will not allow Wake On LAN functionality. Also, powering the system off via a surge supressor of any kind will blank the WoL state, and will not allow the system to respond to a WoL request once power is restored.
Ensure that your WoL software on your server or host system is set to send a Magic Packet, and that the MAC address of the network card within the target system is properly entered.

Dell Dimension XPS 800
I assume that you mean the Dimension XPS
T800 system. In this case, this system is PCI 2.1-compliant, and require a network card that has a Wake On LAN flea power wire connected to the Wake On LAN header on the motherboard (which is item 17 in
this diagram).
-
Dell Dimension XPS 800r
I assume that you mean the Dimension XPS
B800r system. If that is the case, this system does feature PCI 2.2 compliance. This system also features a legacy Wake On LAN power header connector (labeled item 12 in
this diagram), in case an installed PCI network card is only PCI 2.1-compliant.

This system is PCI 2.2-compliant, and does not feature a legacy WoL power header on the system board. The integrated NIC option on this system features Wake On LAN.
