No problem
Code: Select all

The error that is happening is because there is some kind of a connection error to the network. Check your network settings on your Windows 10 machine and make sure everything is correct.

hi, this is my home server, so connection is OK. Can i provide debug log to be more specific to helping you ?
And more, i trigger this event with my "ok google" so eventghost had full access to internet.... ( and my two machine on the same network wicth use samba share, so connexion also ok )
Thanks for the reply btw ^^

Hello pinkfloyd,
It doesn't look like an Eventghost related error.
Please verify if WOL works from that PC Eventghost is running on with a different tool and with that MAC address you are using in EG.
Be aware that both PCs need to be in the same subnet in order for WOL to work. (But I guess they are, as you said it was working before)
As you said it happened after a windows update: Did you know Microsoft "updates" your network card drivers as well? Most likely that's the issue here.

So, i had made some test :
Using "wakemeolan 1.86" from nirsoft :
https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/wake_on_lan.html
From other computer : OK with wakemeonlan
From my server : OK with wakemeonlan - KO with eventghost :
Conclusion.. IT'S an evenghost issue

I need you to do a couple of things for me.
first is to open an elevated command prompt (run as administrator)
type in the following.
paste the output into a PM to me. no screen captures please. and do not * or change anything.
I believe that the plugin is grabbing the first adapter in the binding order where as the nirsoft app blasts the packat out every available adapter. This could be the reason why it is working from the nirsoft app. There could be something not right with the first adapter in that binding order. This is why I need to see the output of the ipconfig unaltered. I will be able to confirm this.
The other thing you can do is there is a plugin poking about the forums that I wrote that will allow you to capture a magic packet using EG. if you install this plugin and then send a magic packet from the broken plugin to the mac on the same machine I want to see if it gets received.
I don't remember the name of the plugin I wrote and I will dig it up on the forum in a bit. I am going to do alittle bit more poking about and see what's up with the plugin. If you can get me that ipconfig output it will help me to narrow down the problem.

you did it !
I change the metric of my lan card to 10 ( Hamashi had the lowest value before ) and now it's working !
GG
Before ( with error )
Code: Select all
ifIndex InterfaceAlias AddressFamily NlMtu(Bytes) InterfaceMetric Dhcp ConnectionState PolicyStore
------- -------------- ------------- ------------ --------------- ---- --------------- -----------
13 Hamachi IPv4 1404 15 Enabled Connected ActiveStore
13 Hamachi IPv6 1500 15 Enabled Connected ActiveStore
16 vEthernet (Internet) IPv4 1500 25 Disabled Connected ActiveStore
[...]
After ( wake on lan of evenghost working ) :
Code: Select all
ifIndex InterfaceAlias AddressFamily NlMtu(Bytes) InterfaceMetric Dhcp ConnectionState PolicyStore
------- -------------- ------------- ------------ --------------- ---- --------------- -----------
16 vEthernet (Internet) IPv4 1500 10 Disabled Connected ActiveStore

I had to spend a few minutes and think of what could be causing the problem.
So now you have to take back the comment about EG being the problem

It still an evenghost problem
If would be nice if the plugin can ask us on wich card send the wake up magic packet
( or a least trying all the lan card )

I will take a look at the plugin and see what changes need to be made to have it send out the packet on all cards.
