How do I wake my computer up

How do I wake my computer up at home from work? I need files off of there and I know my computer is on.

kroto  Sorry, do you meet the qualifications for this feature?

  1. The computer you are trying to wake up must be on a wired connection (not on WiFi)
  2. A second LogMeIn host computer must be switched on and in the same network in order to send the wake request

    Yes I do. An I can wake from LAN on other devices. My main ? is, does this feature just magically apear or should I see a grayed out button?

      kroto  As far as I know, as long as the host computer is not on WiFi, and you have another PC on the same network there to access it, then WOL should appear when available.
