Hello everyone,
Thank you for your messages.
Patrick, thank you for your input.
David, I will forward the issue to our development department to see if we're able to reproduce the issue in our environment. In order to do that, could you please let me know your current configuration where the issue occurs? For example, are your Host and Viewer located in the same LAN and subnet? What version of Remote Utilities you're running?
Looking forward to your reply.

Support level: Starter
Yes, I am a private user at home. Only ONE network, no subnetting, no VPN, no VLAN.
And of course I am using the latest Version available since today 13:30h.
My network is using DHCP with reserved IP adresses (MAC based),
so my clients are using DHCP to get always the same IP adress.
For the RU config:
I use my own hosted ID Server with the integrated user management.
That works like a charme inside my network and from the internet, even behind Firewall and NAT.

Hello David,
Thank you for your patience.
Here's the input I received from our developers: please make sure that you have previously already authenticated on this specific Host machine from the same Viewer at least once before using the WoL feature.
In case if you've previously already connected to the Host but the WoL feature still doesn't work properly, please do the following:
1. Create a new empty address book for testing purposes and add your Host to this address book.
2. Authenticate your Viewer (log on or connect) on this remote Host as you would normally do.
3. After your Viewer connected to the remote Host at least once, please export this test address book as described here and send the address book file to us to support@remoteutilities.com. Our developers will examine the address book file to see if they can identify what might be causing the issue.
Last but not least, please also make sure that you're using the latest version of Viewer 7.1.7.0 which is available for download on this page.
Hope that helps.
