    Laptop updated to 1809. Can't get WOL to send out...


    Not sure the topic is exactly accurate. Here's the story:

    • Have been successful sending WOL to 2 other PCs in the house
    • Had problems with laptop and sent to HP. They upgraded it to 1809
    • Now when I send WOL packets the other PCs will not wake up

    Given that it was working fine on those PCs before, and the noted changes are to the PC sending the packet, I'm assuming that my sending PC needs something configured.

    My searches on WOL only find stuff about setting it up on the remote PC so it will wake up.

    Any suggestions about why my sending PC is not sending?

    :)

  2. WOL Stopped Working

    My wife has a Packard Bell TJ68 laptop previously running Windows 7. I have a NAS which normally sleeps and the laptop send WOL packets to wake up the NAS when a user logs on.

    When I upgraded to Windows 10 the sending of the WOL packets no longer works. It makes no difference whether I connect up a wired connection or use the wireless. I have tried from the commandline (Wolcmd) and various utilities.

    I know WOL is working because a Linux Netbook wakes the NAS successfully as does my Windows 7 desktop.

    It then dawned on me that maybe the identical problem with my sons Windows 8 HP laptop, which I had put down to different hardware (and he's had to live with) is actually related to Windows 8/10 not the hardware.

    I've had windows update look for drivers but the fact that wired or wireless, two machines, neither work says that it's not drivers.

    If I can't find a solution I'll have to go back to Windows 7. Just to be clear this is NOT a problem using WOL to wake up the laptop, this is the laptop failing to send WOL packets after upgrading to Windows 10.

  3. Enable Wireless WOL

    Hi,

    For us to narrow down the issue with your Wireless WOL, we would like to know the following:

    • Are you logged in to your laptop as an Administrator?
    • Which Windows version are you using?
    • Were you able to find a Wake-on-LAN option on your BIOS settings?

    We look forward to your response.

    Laptop updated to 1809. Can't get WOL to send out...

    Windows10 build 1709 WOL now fails

    I truly appreciate your effort to try and help on this. However, it's a bit like taking a sledgehammer to crack a nut. WOL is such a simple piece of software I find it difficult to think that a downgrade of the whole O/S could be effective. In any
    case, what you're suggesting amounts to hours of frustrating work and, frankly, just to get WOL working simply isn't worth it.

    Thanks again for taking an interest but I'll just have to live without WOL for now.
