Cannot log into sleeping remote computer

I cannot log into a sleeping remote computer.  My first attempt is rejected because the computer is asleep.  The second attempt is rejected because the awakened computer thinks I am already logged in...

No, we are about 1200 miles apart.  I am the only user.  My boss changed settings today to stop it from sleeping and I am in successfully today,

The only way to wake a sleeping computer currently is if you're on the same local area network.
