- The device needs hardware which supports WOL.
- WOL only works on the yellow LAN (no WLAN).
- Typically, the device is blocked by the UZH Firewall - use thinlinc (that's behind the UZH firewall) to connect to your device.
- Make sure that there is a service running on your device which waits for remote connection.
F.e. use gtkvncviewer (started on thinlinc) to connect with a GUI to your mac (not very fast) - check Screen sharing
