Wack MAC

I have one machine out of four that gets a MAC address of FF:FF:FF:FF:FF and won’t WOL. If I edit the slaveinfo file to the correct MAC address, it wakes up fine, but then gets overwritten by whatever to the FF:FF:FF:FF:FF.

Its a HP server running server 2008 R2. Any idea what would do this or have I could help/prevent it?

I remember having a similar problem like this and I think it was fixed by editing the hosts file

removing the ::1 and adding the IP it used

or was it by disabling IPv6?

I’ll see if I can remember

Yep, disabling IPv6 solved it.

We’ll take a look at this. Obviously we don’t want to force you to disable IPv6 to use WOL. :slight_smile:

I’d appreciate it. Still happens with Deadline6, too.
