WOL Outage Fix and Network Analysis Report (Including Test Results)

This report analyzes why Wake‑on‑LAN failed between two PCs on the same subnet after a router change, showing that limited broadcast (255.255.255.255) is blocked by the bridge while directed broadcast (192.168.0.255) works. It provides the command fix and a .bashrc alias to ensure reliable WOL in similar setups.
