Awake My Desktop

I have a Laptop and a Desktop with Linksys wireless cards. They are
connected to each-other via a Linksys Router. I use the Laptop as a client
to connect to the Desktop as a Host using a Remote Desktop Connection. I
would like to be able to wake the desktop from Standby or Hibernation rather
than leaving the desktop on all the time. I am unable to run Ethernet cables
so AOL is not possible. Both machines have XP Pro. Does anyone have any
ideas how this might be achieved? Any help would be very much appreciated.

Wireless Wake On Lan (WOL) is a relatively new feature. I don't know if
any Linksys equipment yet supports this. Your best bet would be to go
to the Linksys web site and ask their "Live Chat" folks. Alternatively,
try the forums at http://www.linksysinfo.org/ (where they discuss the
capabilities of the customized 3rd party firmware available for many
Linksys products) or at http://www.dslreports.com/
