Look Soppa, if the computer is connected only on a wireless adapter you are likely not able to start it that way. There ARE wireless adapters that supports WOL, but its not very common. Maybe if it's a newer machine you have at least a chance.
But in that case, you would need to take a deeper look at the power settings (I assume you use windows in your media server).
There is a lot of info on the net, just google it.
