I would like to be able to use the Wake On LAN feature to wake up my Mac Mini from my Windows PC, and I have tried two different programs (Solar Winds and NirSoft) but it is not working. 1. I have already enabled "Wake for Network Access" in the settings on my Mac Mini. 2. I have Mac Mini connected to my (Linksys) router with an Ethernet cable. 3. I have a Windows 10 PC connected to the same router over WiFi. 4. I can use VNC to screen share and control my Mac Mini from my PC. This works really well. 5. I can ping the Mac Mini (when it is on) from my PC and it responds. Any ideas on how to close the loop on this?
