Tyler and Carling got it right. To wake the PC up you needa way to broadcast a magic packet on the local network.
Take a look at http://www.broadbandreports.com for some tools you can use for this.

One way to do this requires that all workstations be equipped with Wake-On-LAN (WOL)-compliant network cards. Just about any computer made in the past several years is probably equipped this way. You can tell if it is when it's plugged into AC power and the network, but isn't turned on, and you see some type of link and activity lights blinking. You can also check the documentation that came with the PCs. Some changes may need to be done to the BIOS setup on the computer to allow the WOL function.
