Hi all
I'm trying to get WOL working so I can wake my PCs up with my phone.
So I've set up the servers in the Android Unified Remote app and apparently you have to provide a MAC address in the server application and on the phone app. I would have thought this would need to be the MAC address of the local client PC that you wish to wake, but this doesn't seem to be working. It sends the WOL request but fails to wake up the PCs, as in nothing happens.
PCs wake fine from sleep otherwise and I had this working fine before in my last house, only I can't remember which MAC address I used and we're now using a router instead of the Virgin superhub.
I have forwarded the relevant TCP / UDP ports in my router.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
