I do not know if WOL is the way to do it (unless you go to bed with your Laptop).

However, link to: Wake On LAN (WOL) - Start a Network Computer Remotely from your Network or the Interent.

Get an X10 appliance module, remote control, and wireless transceiver. X10.com for all their evils occasionally has great deals, you should be able to pick this all up for ca $25 if you get the right deal ($6 for a Firecracker kit, then an appliance module). Lowes and Radio Shack carry X10 stuff if you don't want to wait, but not as good a pricing.
