So I am trying out something new using LogMeIn. Works great when my computer is on but I'd like to be able to wake it up from sleeping (When I close the lid) I can't find wake on Lan anything within Mtn Lion to be able to do this. What do I need to do?

On wireless also

Go to System Preferences --> Energy Saver --> Wake for network access

That setting is not there, only Put harddisks to sleep and slightly dim display are there.

Oh I see it now I had to switch over to the Power Adapter tap, so it will only wake when it is plugged it? Ill let you know if it works now

Okay. Under System Preferences --> Security & Privacy --> Firewall --> Firewall Options, do you have 'Block all incoming connections' enabled? What about 'Enable stealth mode'?

Nope my settings look just like the one pictured. LogMeIn gives me this error on my iphone when I try to wake it: could not connect your session may have timed out or the host may have gone off line please try again

Is the Mac you're trying to gain access to on Wi-Fi or Ethernet? I'm reading on LogMeIn's support pages that this doesn't work with Mac's whose host is on Wi-Fi.
