WOL problem on NVX
I am trying to use the WOL function on a NVX If the NAS powers down, either by pressing the power button or using the built in power timer, then the WOL works if the packet is sent within a few min...
Agreed. That is the idea of checking with WireShark.

Does your WoL sending tool allows you to specify a broadcast address? If so, you should also try using it that way on your local LAN. That will confirm that the ReadyNAS responds to that.
