Thank you all so so much. Right after this emergency planning for corona virus hit and I’d been taken off it.

That’s all wonderful, having skim-read it I’ll be in a better position to take it all apart.

Bless you.

@george1421 Hi folks - so sorry huge influx of users back today, had to get on with other bits.

All three of your points correct though George yes. Although I’d add in on point 2 that it won’t WoL until power is unplugged for about 20 secs and also, following that, the PC is then booted to BIOS for a few seconds or paused at the polling for DHCP part of POST, and then shut down again. That will “prime it” for WoL and WoL will work thereafter until Windows is booted, then it won’t until you repeat the above “priming” process.

Thanks again everyone.

At this stage it’s not looking like a FOG problem strictly, so if you’re getting sick of it it’d be fair to say it’s outside you folks’ remit but I do appreciate the help muchly.

Best post I’ve found in troubleshooting this thanks much for that George! Tracked down another pesty, ancient server that “answered” and I will chop it momentarily.

I’ve had some excellent and patient help from you over the years thanks muchly for what you do mate.
