Does anyone happen to have a tutorial for how to activate Wake On Lan? I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 if the OS is even part of the equation.

You need to:
-Enable WoL in the BIOS
-Use ethernet (WoL doesn't normally work via WiFi)
If you're trying to WoL from the internet, make sure it works in your LAN first.
Then:
In your router, port forward UDP port 9 to IP address 192.168.0.255 (or 192.168.1.255, modify to your actual network mask)
