I have a wireless monitor that connects to the computer using remote
services, it works great except for the fact that I need to go to my
basement first and then start my PC. I seem to have several option son my
PC network card but don't understand all of them. APM etc. I've been able to
get the computer to WAKE when the monitor tries to connect to it but the
problem I'm having is that the computer also WAKEs when no one is within a
mile of it. What are the minimal options I need to turn on in order to wake
the computer?

Also will it wake the computer from "shutdown" or just hibernation and
standby?

How exactly you set this computer for wake?
Wrt. wake-on LAN (WOL): not all netcards have this feature.
It is most common in wired PCI ethernet cards but hardly is supported in
WLAN cards, especially cheap ones.
Also Windows does not support WOL for any USB and Cardbus devices.

I have a (Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC) network card that
I am doing research on to see if it works. Like I said sometimes it seems to
work but other times it won't. I think when I have
ARP/PING, Link Change, and APM Mode ENABLED and only put the computer in
Standby it will work. BUT only sometimes. Unfortunately the computer also
just randomly starts back up.

Thre are two models of of this network card:

RTL8139 does not support WOL
RTL8139A does support WOL

I'm not sure how to tell whether I have the 8139A or just the 8139
