Please click the Pinger button to turn on that function. Shutdown is a different problem. Are the machines on a domain or a workgroup?
For ping DNS resolution, enter the machine.villagetech.local into the FQDN field on Wake Up, and leave the IP blank on Status tab. Did you try that?
Do you have the "Pinger" button activated? That is the function used to check if a host is on or off.
OK, from the PC, can you ping the remote host using the command line? if you go to properties / status / control, there is a field for Local IP...
Yes, you are correct. Online status check does not work through the WOL proxy agent. That's a great idea and it is possible, but the program does not do this...
Sorry for the late response. Are the computers all on the same network subnet? Are they in a domain, or a workgroup? They are Windows, correct?
Yes, the installer uses Innosetup, which has a /SILENT, /VERYSILENT options. However, I have not tested them for this. [https://jrsoftware.org/ishelp/](Innosetup)
All it needs is a MAC address and connectivity to the network. Your server must be able to handle WOL (bios configured).
At the remote machine, run WOL and start the Listener. Send a WOL packet to it. Is it displayed in the Listener window?
Hi Hansfisch, the error is actually happening in the scheduled tasks API for windows, not WOL. I have tried to find a work around, and I've opened tickets with Microsoft...
