Sorry for the delay in responding. I also have a lot of gov machines and that can be a real problem if they won't update the GPO for you.

WAKE ON LAN does not wakeup COMPUTER , also receive access denied .5 on WINDOWS 10 CPU

Simon Craddock posted a comment on discussion Help

Ohh never mind I've just figured it out. Thanks.

Simon Craddock posted a comment on discussion Help

I've been testing the WOLAgent on our remote site across our site to site connection and it works fine at waking up the remote systems. The only thing that that I can't resolve (if it's possible) is that the WOL Client software show's the remote PC always online so I guess it's picking up the status of the server running WOLAgent not the PC itself. Is there anyway to resolve this?

Peter Hofland posted a comment on discussion Help

Sorry i found it. I had installed in a different folder and was only look in that folder. Thanks for your support !

Peter Hofland posted a comment on discussion Help

Thansk for your reply. I dont have xml files. Only files like these Machines.XmlSerializers.dll, Machines.dll etc. I use a dll editor but cant find the line method in these files. My version of WOL Aquila is 2.12.2

BasilDane posted a comment on discussion Help

You can edit the database manually and accomplish this. The file is simple XML, and by default, it is located at C:\ProgramData\Aquila Technology\WakeOnLAN\machines.xml You will want to change Method to 1 for each machine. For example: <method>1</method>

Hello everyone, Im using since a week the Wake on lan tool. When i click on a computer and then properties and then wake up tab. Then the default setting for "send WOL to" is broadcast. See also the attachment. Because we have so 1000 computers i dont want to change manual the setting to FQDN/IP for every computer. Where can i change the settings that the default setting will be FQDN/IP ? Thanks already for the help !

Francisco Ramirez posted a comment on discussion Help

Hello friends I have the following panorama: I have the computers configured correctly for the Shutdown task, if I execute the manual task, everything works correctly. The problem is when the task is executed with Task Schedule. Automatic task if activated but the computer does not shut down. Manually if it does but automatically does not. Computers are added to a domain and the WOL computer is within the domain with the same network I appreciate the help they can give me. Best Regards.

BasilDane posted a comment on discussion Help

I just realized how confusing this must be, there are a lot of options. So let's break this down to managable steps. First let's start with two machines, call them source and destination. You don't need to install any software on the destination, but just for testing, let's install WOL on both. That way you can run the listener on it to see if it's receiving packets. Send a wakeup command to the destination. Make sure the listener receives it. Then try actually waking it up from power off. For this...

BasilDane posted a comment on discussion Help

The agent would be installed on a server that is always on. You only need one agent. Are you having trouble? To set this up, you need to test one step at a time. First make sure it works on a local network. Then try sending directly to the agent. Then try to the agent from outside your lan. Use the "listener" function to verify you are receiving wol packets.

Hans Feenstra posted a comment on discussion Help

I saw your flow at the website. One more question, the agent can't be on the same computer that will be turned on? I have a network with multiple computers that all need to be controled bij WOL. Can i install the agent on all the computers so if one is done the other one will boradcast it? And what if all computers are down in the network than the agent wont work right?

Hans Feenstra posted a comment on discussion Help

Allright than you. I will try your solution

BasilDane posted a comment on discussion Help

You configure WOL to send the packets to the router outside address. Then you configure the router to forward port 9 to the host that has the Agent running on it. Then the agent will receive the packet and broadcast it for you. I have a simple diagram on the agent's webpage that may help.

Hans Feenstra posted a comment on discussion Help

Yeah, sorry it was a typo. Yes that is what i ment to say. I would like to send a packet from outside the local network. Throught a router, but i wont work when i forward the UDP packets on port 9 to the specific server. And i cant set the port forwarding to the local boradcast ip. On your site they say that I should use the agent. What should i configure in the router when using the agent?

BasilDane posted a comment on discussion Help

I assume you mean 192.168.178.255, not .55? .55 is not a broadcast address. I need more information about what you are trying to do. I think you are saying you want to send WOL packets from the internet, outside of your LAN, to your router, forward them to a server running Agent, then to the local network. Is this correct? Your router would be configured to forward the port 9 packets directly to the server running agent. For example, 192.168.0.8. NOT a broadcast address. The router probably cannot...

Hello, I used your program to turn pc's on and off. Locally it worked. But when i follow your installation guide about using a router. It wont work anymore. Could you help me to makes this work?

And i configured my WOL client like: Mac address: mac address of server Send wol to: Broadcast Ip Broadcoast: 192.168.178.55 (My broadcast ip nside the network) FqDN / IP: my outside ip Port: 9 TTl: 128 Repeat:1...

there was no rule for WakeOnLan Command Line , so for making sure nothing is wrong with the rules i added inbound and outbound rules for it with no restrictions . but nothing changed .

BasilDane posted a comment on discussion Help

OK. Please go to your firewall advanced settings, check the rules for WakeOnLan and WakeOnLan Command Line, make sure the command line is able to send packets out.

mohammad riazi posted a comment on discussion Help

OK , for making sure everything is alright , i send the package using GUI and i receive it at the remote PC ( i see it in the listener window) . then i try sending the package with Command line with both machine name and mac address options and nothing received at the remote PC . if it is any help , i tried sending the magic package with a UDP Utility and as you would expect , the remote PC wakes up . and i already checked the "simple TCPIP services" and it was not checked .

BasilDane posted a comment on discussion Help

Just a side note, you asked about other things using port 9. Please check if you have "simple TCPIP services" running. https://wol.aquilatech.com/help/troubleshooting/listener.html

BasilDane posted a comment on discussion Help

i need to understand better. Can you turn on the remote machine and run the listener on it. Make sure the WOL packets are getting to the remote machine. That is step one.

mohammad riazi posted a comment on discussion Help

the returning message is this : WakeOnLan Command Line 2.11.18.0 waking up mac: 90:e6:ba:0d:52:b9 but nothing happens, but when 'listener' windows is open , the same message (on cmd)appears and the remote pc wake up

mohammad riazi posted a comment on discussion Help

No error , and i test the MAC Address option too , same thing.

BasilDane posted a comment on discussion Help

Does that return a message? An error? Please try using the MAC address instead of -m nas. If that works, then we have a problem with the command line finding your database.

mohammad riazi posted a comment on discussion Help

Hi, i am using version : 2.11.20 and the command is : WakeOnLanC.exe -w -m nas , nas is the name of the machine that i created with the GUI

mohammad riazi posted a comment on discussion Help

i am waking up the remote PC via 'Wake On Lan ' successfully but for some reason i cant do it with command line . i tried using the 'listener' window for debugging , but whenever the 'listener' window is opened the the remote PC wakes up and when i close the window , the script in command prompt doesn't work . i tried using netstat -ano | find ":9" to see if a process reserved the port and i could not find any process using that port . can anyone help ?

Joseph Dupre posted a comment on discussion Help

My mistake. Apparently Google directed me here, not your website. It was Windows's firewall that was blocking the incoming packets, so WOL Agent never got them, thus no broadcasts. Adding a rule to Windows firewall solved that. (I forgot that Wireshark taps in before the firewall, that's why I was confused to see the incoming unicast packet but not the outgoing broadcast.) All is good. Thanks for the cool tool.

BasilDane posted a comment on discussion Help

BasilDane posted a comment on discussion Help

Hi, I am not sure if I can reply to this as I don't even have a source forge account anymore (for years now). Yes, this is normal. You cannot NAT to an address to wake up the machine because when the machine is off it has no IP address. You can use the WOL Agent to run on a server on your net, and it will broadcast the wol packets to your lan like a repeater.
