Laptop updated to 1809. Can't get WOL to send out...

Not sure the topic is exactly accurate. Here's the story:

• Have been successful sending WOL to 2 other PCs in the house
• Had problems with laptop and sent to HP. They upgraded it to 1809
• Now when I send WOL packets the other PCs will not wake up

Given that it was working fine on those PCs before, and the noted changes are to the PC sending the packet, I'm assuming that my sending PC needs something configured.

My searches on WOL only find stuff about setting it up on the remote PC so it will wake up.

Any suggestions about why my sending PC is not sending?

I appreciate the query/response.

I have already checked that, and it is on private network.

BTW...I have checked that they do wake. When sending packets with my phone it works. So, it definitely is something about this laptop.

Would those things block the requests from being sent out? I was thinking only from being received.

Checked BIOS, don't see anything relating to allowing send of magic packets.

With some more searching I saw a post that said you need to turn on simple tcp/ip. (I've never done that before)> So I turned it on.

I also went in and set firewall rules to allow port 9 in and out.

So, I decided to turn off the firewall just to test.

Still not working, so my problem is not related to the firewall.

The computer I am trying to send the packet from is a Home Windows. I've seen that you cannot remote control a Home version of Windows. I wouldn't think that would stop me from sending out a magic packet. I certainly was doing it all the time on 1709.

Just to be sure...you do realize my problem is with the computer sending the packet to wake other computers, right?
