Wake on Lan has stopped working
Until recently Wake on Lan across different subnets has been working without issue. It seems after the last update is when it stopped working. Did something change in the last update? Has anyone else noticed this?
Thanks,
Phil

One other possible issue could be DHCP. In order to do a directed broadcast we send the packet to the last known subnet of the computer and if the computer's address was changed via DHCP and is on a different segment it would cause those broadcasts to go astray. Probably not an issue, just something to be aware of.

Can you wake the computer using other tools?

I may have this issue. Set up is exactly like that of Michael's.
I have had to configure the Nics of a few of our machines of late to comply but they will now only WOL if they have been shut down recently either locally or from PDQ the same day.
I have tested with DHCP and static IP and left them overnight. DNS is correct but they still failing to wake.
Not sure if this is to do with the latest versions as we never had it fully configured and working initially across all machines. I do know it did work on a select few that I was using for testing purposes.
