Is there any update on this? Having the same problem with computers on the same LAN. I dont really see any settings for WoL, either in host or on the server configuration. Side note: we use a third party program that has a WoL function, and it works with the computer we are testing this on.

I don't know your setup, but I solved a similar problem with my networks by changing the network cards interface metric to a lower number that my other virtual adapters. I had been running OpenVpn on all my computers, and during initialization it would alter the routing tables. So, after setting my main network adapter to use the interface metric to 1, my WOL started functioning perfectly, even the "Using other Host" function works perfectly now. Hope that helps.
Edit: Also forgot to mention that one of the prerequisites for this to work within the same network is that it must be a direct connection.
