Hello guys, I'm a noobie who is trying to automate my setup further.
I use an app on my iPhone called WOL to wake up my Dell server when I need it. I've enabled WakeOnLan in its BIOS.
However I tried setting WOL on my WSL2 Ubuntu 20.04 instance by downloading "wakeonlan" package from the Ubuntu repo. (I'm running Windows 10 Pro v2004) Once I sent in the command
wakeonlan xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
it did not work, I've checked the manual pages on the program to see if I was mistyping something, however I wasn't.
I have Ubuntu 20.04 installed on another PC I use and wakeonlan works just fine.
I then thought maybe its because of the firewall on windows, so I turn it off. Still does not work,
I then try turning off Windows Security just in-case and still sending a wol command from my WSL did not work.
I then tried obtaining a WOL script to have it run on Powershell. so I used this one:
I used the script on both Powershell 5 and Powershell 7 on my Windows 10 Pro machine and it did not work.
At this point I'm not sure if its Windows thats the problem or if its something else.
Has anyone been faced with this issue before?
Any help is extremely appreciated.
PS:I have tried this setup before on another version of Windows 10 (can't remenber which version it was, most likely v1904 or 1804) however after I updated to v2004 it no longer worked.
