    Hello there,

    I'm new to this nice little tool and after some troubleshooting I managed to get Wake On Lan to work correctly.
    But I can't find a solution for the following problem:
    The hosts I added appear as 'unknown' and don't display if they are Online or Offline.

    Addtional Informations - please tell me if you need more infos to help me:

    • I added them via 'search for hosts' tool.
    • I enabled Echo Request - ICMPv4-In in the firewall
    • I work in a domain network
    • Whenever I click the Pinger nothing happens.

    Greetings and thanks in advance for the help :)

    I'm deeply sorry. But a simple restart of the program solved my problem :D

    OK, first thing is can you ping one of the hosts from the command line?

    Hello! I am having problem with search displaying non-domain PC's in a domain LAN enviroment as unknown (and vice versa). Only the domain PC's recognise each other (WOL status, operating system, etc). All settings, firewall seem to working fine... Any suggestions?

    WAKE on LAN also works only when shutted down with "shutdown -s", but that's no big deal.

    Any help is much appriciated
