How about sending WOL packet to computer with unknown IP address (often changes)?
Or script got old IP and can not get a new one (changed)?

Maybe script needs to be improved with functionality for sending WOL packet to all internal network (for an example company's network) with only specified MAC address.

I think the same.

It seems that the router have to know the IP of the machine (or something).

Hey guys,

You can send it to broadcast address.

Broadcast address will send data to all computers on network.

eg 192.168.1.255
