You must first enable the WOL in bios. Works like wake on ring for remote access.

A couple of other things. You can only wake a computer from a level 3 or lower shutdown. Level 4 is a complete power down. Sometimes people use words like standby(level 1) or hibernate(level2). I don't recall a common name for level 3. The next thing is to make sure you have a spot on the motherboard to plug you WOL cable. It is a short green and red cable with little two prong jumper connectors on the ends. The last thing you need is a way of generating the wake up call. Most network cards use Magic Packets. The comercial software that does this is expensive. I've been using a freeware programs called Wakeonlan. I honestly don't remember where I got it.
