Bug Description

I tried to switch on a computer with de WOL link of the computer view. But it doesn't work.
The PC configuration (the one I want to be switch on) is correct because with another software (networkstuff) it works.
I look this wireshark the frame that are sent to the PC. I think I understood the problem.

The WOL frames are sent with the PC IP address instead of the broadcast address 255.255.255.255.

To check this I overwrite the PC IP adress in the ocsweb table networks field IPADDRESS with the value 255.255.255.255 and the n it work.

So the script generating the WOL must be modified to send the broadcast address 255.255.255.255 insted of the PC one.
