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...
Does your WoL problem only happen when you remove the power cable from the computer for a while? If so, the issue may be in the bios of the computer (not responding to the WoL request). If the computer is in a sleep state, then the bios actions are different than power off (requiring starting a boot sequence from the power off state).
If I understand your question correctly;
The problem occurs once I remove the powercable from the computer. As soon as I re-attach the powercable, my network-card lights up (as it started to do after I activated WOL support in the BIOS). If I simply shut it off (completly) it still starts up on WOL requests.
