WOL from Fog works/doesn't-work with 2 different PC models
-
Fog SVN 3726 on Ubuntu 12.04
All PCs and Fog server are on the same subnet.
WOL from Fog works on my Intel DG41RQ PCs but doesn’t work with my Asus H81M-A PCs.
I can manually wake the H81M-A PCs from the Fog server using gWakeOnLan. (And it works on a Windows PC from another subnet using a script.)
wol.php in the browser (http://fogip/fog/wol/wol.php?wakeonlan=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx) works for the DG41RQ PCs but not the H81M-A PCs.
Any ideas?

You brought up subnets… have you tried installing the plugin called wolbroadcast
? -
No, not familiar with it.
Don’t think my problem is subnets since the Fog server and the client PCs are on the same subnet.
-
H81M-A’s i believe have to be enabled on the BIOS screens, though I don’t know directly where that resides. Sorry.

WOL is enabled on my H81M-A PCs.
I can manually wake the H81M-A PCs from the Fog server using gWakeOnLan. (And it works on a Windows PC from another subnet using a script.)

What if you try WOL from:
http://IPOFFOGSERVER/fog/status/wol.php?wakeonlan=MACOFHOSTHERE

Not Found
The requested URL /fog/status/wol.php was not found on this server.As I mentioned in my original post:
wol.php in the browser (http://fogip/fog/wol/wol.php?wakeonlan=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx) works for the DG41RQ PCs but not the H81M-A PCs.

then what is the gWakeOnLan doing?
-
That’s a good question. I went back and looked at it again just to double check. The default is to send the WOL to 255.255.255.255 which works (wakes up the machine). Just for the heck of it I tried the actual broadcast address of of my subnet - 10.25.37.255 (it’s a subnet with 510 hosts 10.25.36.0 - 10.25.37.254 with a subnet mask of 255.255.254.0) In gWakeOnLan both 255.255.255.255 and 10.25.37.255 wake up the machine.

Dunno how helpful this will be but I captured the two different magic packets with WireShark from the H81M-A PC.
From Fog - doesn’t work:
From gWakeOnLan - does work:
