Hi,

Wol is a complex thing.
its Hard & Softwarebased.
So please describe your Network and what Versions / Os you have (with
the problems)

Basic is:
The "Bios"/UEFI has a MenĂ¼ - WOL must be enabled.
The Switch/ Router has a Map "this MAC Adress" is here "this Mac
Address" is there and "that MacAdress" is internal unknown.

May it helps to put Reserved Ips for your stuff - then the Router knows
"that MAC Address is local".

To tell you about my office - everytime i get a new (fresh) System i
cant WOL it up - even when i know the MAC. It has to be online one time.
(But i dont poweroff the switches/Router)
If a "winblows" system bluescreens and i shut it down / or i shut it
down the "Hard" way - i cant wol it on.
It has to start "clean" one Time.

So ves - there is some knowledge (for working WOL) inside your Stuff
that is lost when you power it off.

cheers



Gruss

Jan
