WOL not working.

Asked by Oliver Webb

Hi,

I'm trying to use the new WOL feature, but neither the button or setting the time to wake is working. I can wake the machine using my computer, but not if I'm logged onto the Xibo server.

Is Xibo using a program to perform the WOL, such as wakeonlan or etherwake?

I also had to enter the mac address for the client into the database, as there is no way of editing it in the server and it didn't pick it up automatically.

Many thanks in advance for any help.

Ollie

Xibo Server 1.4rc1
Xibo Python Client 1.3.1

the server sends the WOL packet to the client - are you sure there broadcast route between the two? If you enable server logging and debugging you will see the exact packet that is generated and sent.

Can you help with this problem?
