Wake on lan works correctly but unknown PC #214

Open Marcoeat opened 6 months ago

Marcoeat commented 6 months ago

Good evening, I had been using the software for some time without any problems and it provided me with information on the status of the PC, whether it was active or off. After I reset the PC to command, the wake on lan works but I can't detect the status of the PC. I searched the forum but couldn't find a solution, can anyone help me? sorry for the bad English but I use google translate

Do you have the "Pinger" button activated? That is the function used to check if a host is on or off.

Marcoeat commented 4 months ago

yes of course it is active

basildane commented 4 months ago

OK, from the PC, can you ping the remote host using the command line? if you go to properties / status / control, there is a field for Local IP address. Is it correct?

sorry for the late reply but then I had 1000 other problems. In fact, the ping from the command line didn't work and I solved it by setting it as a private network and the only way to be able to get a response from the ping is by deactivating the firewall (I have to understand how to do it to be able to leave it active and still be able to get a response from the ping ). I also confirm that in properties --> status / control I have the IP of the machine to be turned on. Regardless, the problem persists. Do you have other ideas?

I just managed to partially solve the problem. After making the changes reported above and having recreated "New host" with the same settings, it now indicates "The host is online" the problem is that even if I turn off the PC it always remains set the same and the light does not go off. Do you have ideas?
