  1. Anyone else having problems with wake on LAN after recent updates?


    I added a script when our users connected to our VPN using the Linux command ether-wake to wake their Windows machines, and it stopped working about a month ago. It worked for years before. Even running it several times manually no longer works to wake Windows. We have a mix of Dell and HP laptops and desktops. None of them will now wake. Any ideas?

  3. Wake On LAN is Not Working


    I have been unable to get Wake on LAN functionality to work in Windows 10:

    • I am attempting to do a Wakeup on LAN to my desktop computer which is running Windows 10 from my laptop which is also running Windows 10. The desktop computer is connected to my router through a wired Ethernet connection and the laptop is connected to the same router via a wireless connection
    • I'm doing this within my Local Area Network so I'm not going through a router from the external network
    • I've upgraded the driver on my network adapter to the latest version
    • I've enabled all the required functionality in the BIOS to enable Wake on LAN
    • I've turned on all the required settings in my network adapter to enable Wake on LAN
    • I've disabled "Fast Startup" in Windows 10
    • I'm using the "Wake on LAN" software application from Aquila Technology
    • The software is installed on both my desktop and laptop and I've tested it with the desktop in "listening" mode and verified that the desktop receives "magic" wake-up packets when it is up-and-running
    • When my desktop system is powered down and I send it a Magic Packet in exactly the same way as I did when it was powered up, nothing happens and it doesn't respond to the wake-up packet

    Any suggestions of what I can do to further troubleshoot this problem?

    Thanks,

    Does Windows 10 Version 1803 Break Wake on Lan?

    Hello,

    I updated to Version 1803 on June 2. After the update, Wake On Lan would no longer work. It worked before the update. I have done the following:

    • Checked for update to BIOS, and installed update to A21 for my Dell Optiplex 790
    • Ensured that Wake on Lan was enabled in BIOS and Deep Sleep was disabled
    • Checked for updated driver for Intel 82579LM NIC. No update is available
    • Checked Power Management tab for Intel 82579LM NIC
      • Cleared all "Power Saver Options"
      • Checked "Wake on Magic Packet"
      • Cleared all other "Wake on Lan" Options
    • Cleared "Turn on Fast Startup" in Power Button Settings
    After doing all the above, I rebooted. Wake on LAN does not work.

    Any help would be appreciated.
