I seem to be able to set it to xxx.xxx.xxx.255 and it sends out a
broadcast. But I don't seem to be able to get it to send out over the
wireless, even if I specify the exact IP address of a wireless computer.

I don't run either OS either, I run Mac OS X ;-) I've written my own app
to display the messages, it's pretty crude as it's only a few hours old
at this point, but it's already interesting to see all the attempted
connections and such.
You can view the logs via the web setup interface as well in V4. I had
to upgrade from 1.45.3 to 1.50.10 as the version that came with my
router wouldn't send out the logging packets. Very frustrating...
