Wake-on-LAN doesn't work through TeamViewer

[DamnICantFly]

Hi there,

I've been trying to get Wake-on-LAN working for my Desktop PC at home, so that I'll be able to wake it up though my laptop when I'm at school.
After setting everything up, I've tried to use the Wake Up button that shows up on TeamViewer on my laptop. Sadly, nothing happened. I've tried this while my PC was in sleeping, Hibernating and completely shut down.
Using a website that allows me to send a Wake On Lan packet online (required my MAC Address, Global IP and Port), I was able to start wake up my computer from Sleep and Hibernate mode.

Yes, I could use that website to wake up my computer, but it would be so much better if I could just do that using TeamViewer. This is why I'm wondering what's going wrong. I use the same Global IP and Port in TeamViewer as on the website..

Hope someone can help me out!

I alos get the same problem. With other applications I can wake up remote computer. But this option in teamviewer results failing.
Any suggestions?

I opened also port for temviewer program in Windows firewall, but it does not works
Thanks in advance

I have also noticed this issue for over 2 weeks now. I think they changed something server side and it is not sending the magic packet. Other WOL apps function correctly so it is 100% a TeamViewer issue. I have opened a ticket today. Hopefully they will fix this soon.

Did this issue ever get resolved?

I finally resolved this issue on my computers by disabling deep sleep in the BIOS  (States S4 and S5). I missed that in my original configuration of the BIOS.  I had enabled WOL but deep sleep was still enabled.  Oops.
PS   I saw a thread in the Teamviewer community where WOL was actually broken but they fixed it as of a month ago.
