This has worked up until a few days ago. The local machine is a new
Mac Pro running 10.5.7 and the remote is a G5 running 10.4.11. Aside
from some updates that might have been applied to various pieces of
system software on the Mac Pro, the only thing that has changed is
my router. The old one (a 4-port LinkSys) died, so I replaced with
today's equivalent model.
To make sure it wasn't the router blocking that port or something
like that, I tried targeting another Mac (a 1st generation Mac Pro
also running 10.5.7) and it worked. The G5 still has the Remote
AppleEvents sharing option turned on. If I put anything else inside
the tell block, it returns "Finder got an error: Could not establish
connection to host".
Any ideas?

Steve,
"sleep" is an System Events event.
Try this
tell application "System Events" of machine "eppc://user:email@hidden
" to sleep
