I have a MP and a laptop - both running leopard an I love the screen sharing option. I frequently have to grab a file off the laptop and I was wondering if there is a way to "wake" the laptop from a sleep and start a screen sharing session remotely? For example the laptop is downstairs but has gone into sleep mode and is there a way to wake it remotely?

I know I'm lazy - but maybe its my old age..

For a sleeping host you'll probably have to buy something that can do Wake-on-LAN... Apple Remote Desktop ($500?) may do this.
