Cannot bind WOL socket.
Greetings all!
I am trying to push a master image over a network to 3 different labs using the PXE server. However, when I attempt to do so (choosing the "Use PXE agent" option when creating the task), I get the following error message:
"Cannot bind WOL socket.
Additional info:
--------------------
Error code: 3
Module: 0
LineInfo: FCB4AD1C2E797DAB
Fields: $module : "C:\Program Files (x86)\Acronis\OSDeployServer\ds_invoker.exe"
Message: Cannot bind WOL socket."
Any help on how to resolve this issue would be much appreciated.
All of the computers run Windows 7 and support WOL. This is for several different labs, and all of the computers are connected to the same domain.

I try it with my second Network card and now it goes.
I have two Network Interface Cards in my PC.
Is there a different between this two NICs??

Anyone got a Solution on this?
Got exactly the same Problem since Updating to Build 584.
Edit:
This seems to be a common error in Builds 540 & 584.
The only way to fix this seems to be installing the last functioning Version of Snap Deploy.

I resolved this on my machine by removing a vpn client I had left over on it. Once removed it was able to bind properly to the adapter that was actually connected.
Try disabling any extra adapters you have on the system.

Is there a fix for this error? I just installed version 584 and I can't get my deployment to work. I spent an hour with tech support and he said it was a problem with my NIC. I let him remote login only to have him disable my LAN adapter as a possible fix with my "BAD" NIC. I only have one NIC card in my PXE server, so then no communication at all. Re-enabled my LAN adapter and still gettting this error. Unfortunately, we've paid for the licenses and the deployment has been non-existent.

I have had the same Problem but there has been no fix. So we are still running the 540 and have to build PE Boot Files which provide proper NIC Drivers for all the new Hardware that wont work with the 540.
Hopefully there maybe is a new major release the next few weeks (as a Support Guy told me month ago).
