Hello, I'm trying to configure Wake on LAN on PCs at work. We have several machines set up identically—Bios WOL turned on, magic packet activated. The issue is that three computers keep waking up even after I power them off. Two of them remain awake when in sleep or hibernation mode, which is acceptable since I can switch them to hibernation instead. However, two PCs fail to wake up after shutdown. I've verified the BIOS settings and confirmed WOL is enabled, plus magic packet is active in device properties. Keep in mind these are different brands—some are pre-built (Dell, HP, Lenovo) and others custom-built with generic components. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
