Wake on Lan not Working on branch office VLANs

Hello,
In my enviroment i want to use the Deployment Console 6.9 SP1 to Wake on Lan machines in different VLANs but i have 1 issue.
In the computers of my VLANS i deliver the deployment agent with the WOL proxy enabled in at least 1 machine.
However in some VLANs the WOL doesn't work.
Any tips so i can get it to work in the branch office VLANs?
Thanks for your help
WOL is not nearly 100% effective
I think most of us has struggled with this issue at least once in the past. If the ports are open, and you have it properly configured (by the way Notification Server handles WOL differently than Deployment Server), WOL will work, sometimes, and maybe.
So, you can install Wireshark and trace the packets to see why they are not making it, but other than the above ideas (ports and infrastructure, meaning the WOL proxy) not much more can be done.
