No Wake-on-LAN possible since updating to ML

Hi everybody,


since updating from OS X 10.7 to 10.8 (clean install), Wake-on-LAN does not work anymore. Setup: Mac mini (Early 2011) connected to Time Capsule (2nd gen) via devolo dLAN. Mac mini goes to sleep after 30 minutes and eventually disappears from the network. Sending Wake-On-LAN packets or using Back To My Mac fail, it simply won't wake up.


Wake-on-LAN worked smoothly under 10.7 after some problems. Any ideas?


Thanks and regards


Steffen

Mac mini, OS X Mountain Lion

I have a NAS device at home that I was able to keep my mappings to in Lion when my Mac was in sleep mode. That is no longer the case. Whenever the Mac goes to sleep now, the mappings drop.


I'm on a wired connection.


I just filled out the bug report you guys linked to. Hopefully this will be addressed soon as it is a pain in the you know what.

Ditto. All the same issues. No WOL. Cannot access my iMac from within my local wifi network after "upgrading" to ML. LogMeIn doesnt work either, nor Apple TV. Checked all settings and prefs, rebooted everything... Only way I can connect to the iMac is to physically get in front of it and wake it up.


This is pretty basic stuff and you would think that Apple would have tested this extensively, especially considering that they've just dealt with the same (firmware) issue in the last six months.


Very disappointing.
