October 14, 20223 yr I read some warnings for having dual NICS on the same network. My main NIC is a 10Gb network card but this doesn't support Wake On Lan. The 2nd NIC does support Wake On Lan and I would like to use it but for that it needs to be on the same network. Is this possible and safe? Regards Ronald

October 16, 20223 yr Solution WOL is a series ethernet packet relate MAC address only, doesn't protocol TCP/UDP. WOW ( wake on wan ) was a way to bridge both. Even you need WOW, that NIC also don't need IP. Edited October 16, 20223 yr by Vr2Io
