Guys
I would appreciate some advice please surrounding WOL triggering.
Using WOL on a Server 2012R2 box -and it works, but keeps waking due to network activity.
As you know, the logs dont show anything beyond the network service woke the box - so I cant identify the network device or broadcast that is triggering WOL.
Its not a magic packet - and as far as I am aware no client attempting to access the server so it must be a broadcast or similar.
Is there any way that i can setup the WOL process to ignore any packets unless specifically addressed to this box?
I have used Intel and dare i say it, Realtek NICs just incase it varies (the driver functionality certainly varies!).
Thanks
David
