Hi all,

I've got a Windows 7 based setup that has been working brilliantly with WOL non-stop for around a year (since I set it up). Until now...

A few weeks back I installed a extra internal HDD, not replacing anything. Just additional storage space, nothing fancy.
A couple of days later my computer stopped responding to WOL magic packets. The packets are still coming through fine as I can see them using a packet sniffer when my computer's on. None of the Windows or Bios settings have changed and are all set as they should be to allow this to work.

Has anyone ever experienced this sudden loss of functionality and if so, have you managed to rectify the issue at all?

Any advice would be much appreciated
