I have a fileserver that I would like to be able to remotely turn on(parents won't let me keep it on all the time and I use it for hosting files often when im at school or work). I enabled wake on LAN in the bios and connected the cable from the mobo to the card. What else do I need to do?

The rig has a linksys 10/100 card and is hooked up to an 8 port linksys router

Here's how I set mine up. I have my daughter's machine on this lashup so I can power it up and do backup anytime. She's not much for saving her butt, so I try to do it for her. :)
