Connect your Android phone to the same network as your PC. Open the Wake on LAN app and click the + in the lower right corner. Choose your computer from the list of devices. Open Tasker and go to the Tasks panel. Tap the + to add a new task and enter a name for the task. Tap the + again and choose Plugin. Tap Wake on LAN. In the thread where this topic started at the apple discussion forums I pointed out that the way to remotely wake a mac from outside your LAN is to ssh into your LAN to an ssh server you leave up 24/7 and then from that server you can issue a CLI command to wake up any sleeping computers on your local network. Presuming you know how to set up SSH and use the terminal should have no trouble.

Greedo's tip is the key to getting wake-on-LAN to work across the internet. I have recently set up Wake On LAN on a neighbour's PC so that I can wake up his PC from my powerbook. Both our computers are connected via routers to ADSL connections. The steps are as follows.
1. Ensure, as in the original hint, that the PC will aknowledge and act on the 'Magic Packet' that is sent to wake it up.
2. Manually assign the PC an IP address. Note down the MAC address of the PC's Ethernet card at the same time.
3. Choose a port number, any one will do as long as it is not used by another network service. If the PC is running a firewall open this port on the firewall. Ensure that traffic is set to UDP not TCP.
4. Find out what your external IP address is. You can get this by going to WhatIsMyIP.com
5. Set up port forwarding on your router so that any traffic arriving on the port that you just opened is directed to the PC. Again make sure the port traffic is specified as UDP.
6. Use a WakeOnLAN program to send a wake-up packet to the PC as described above.
This becomes really useful if you have Microsoft's excellent Remote Desktop. (Requires Windows XP to be installed on the PC.) Working on a real PC, even over a 512K ADSL connection, is much faster than using Virtual PC and with Remote Desktop any discs inserted into your mac or any volumes mounted become available to the PC.
When you have finished working you can shutdown the PC by opening a DOS prompt and typing 'shutdown' without the quotes. Most modern PCs will shutdown completely within 15secs. This doesn't work on all computers. For further info read this.
