I need to be able to wake my computer from sleep. This worked perfectly in Windows 7 before I upgraded but now it is broken. I have exhausted everything I can think of and find online:
WoL works when I shut the computer down but not from sleep or hibernate.
This guy seems to be in a similar situation: Phil Pendlebury – Windows 8 – Wake Over LAN – It Works! – It but he was able to make it work from hibernate.
I would be OK with just using Hibernate if it was working but the MS KB article on WoL says that it is supported in S3 sleep: Wake-on-LAN behavior in Windows 8
Any ideas? Thanks!
- My NIC is the only wake armed device
- In the device manager it's set to wake on magic packet
- In the device manager it's set to never be turned off to conserve power
- In Power Button options I've tried toggling fast boot
- In Advanced power options I've tried toggling allow hybrid sleep
