my first thought was to sand it off.  Try to get off what you can and then put on your dust mask, cover your furniture and sand away!

Go to the nearest rental tool store and rent a steam machine. They will show you how to use it and explain everything you need to know. Simply it is a squire metal plate that steam comes out of and you rub it over the wall until you soften up the wallpaper glue and can scrap the wallpaper off the wall.

Mix half and half fabric softener and water and spray on the wall. It works on regular walls. Don't know about wood.

Steam it!  Rent a hand held steamer.

@ Amy If you have true wood walls the wall paper is put on cheese cloth and it will rip right down then the next problem will be plaster board. My parents home had wall paper and I found it easier to reapply the cheese cloth and new wall paper. If it's a newer house the fabric softener, works the best.
