[ESXi 5.5.0] WOL not working to VM's or across VLAN's
-
As the title says…
Is this a firewall rules issue I have been overlooking? The machines are all added to Services >> WOL and the correct MAC addresses and corresponding IP addresses are listed in the ARP table.
Any help would be appreciated.

I think Wake On Lan (WOL) is abit of a mess in 2.2
I initially blow off the "malfunction" reports until I see them either in volume or see them myself.
In this case I've seen both. Lots of people reported WOL broken and I have a system showing the same issue.
It used to reliably wake any computer on the lan in 2.15 but 2.2 wakes nothing.
(Full install / 64 bit. Intel NICs pfsense 2.2)

If you have something different, file a bug.

I will double and triple check it again before I do. But yeah - seems busted right now.
(Strange - reboot and its working now)
My apinger is still all over the place, but the WOL seems to be working for now again.

I first noticed it after the 2.2 upgrade : WOL wasn't working anymore with any of the usual targets :-\
I use a WOL standalone client just to check that it wasn't anything in the network backbone that was messing up with the magic packets, but it worked fine.
I hope the WOL feature will be fixed for the next release :)
