  1. WOL stopped working


    Hello,

    after running WOL for several month without any issues it suddenly stopped working. Windows quick start is disabled, WOL is enabled in the network card, but when sending a magic packet nothing happens. What is even more confusing: I cannot power down my system. It starts again after a few seconds, when quick start is disabled. I had no such issues in the last few months.

    So I decided to reinstall windows 10, but the issues are the same. When quick start is disabled the system reboots after powering off, but refuses to wake up from standby. With quick start enabled I can shut down the system without any issues but the network card has no power then. And even from standby it won‘t start.

    I didn‘t change anything, was there a windows update that could cause those issues?

  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. WoL not working in Windows 10

    Then check with RealTek and WoL as there is nothing in Windows stopping it.

    WOL stopped working

    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?
