I am connected to the internet through a wired network to our main pc, which has broadband. Once i have finished on this pc at night, i am supposed to go downstairs and turn off the other computer. in an incredibly lazy moment i wondered if there is a way to shut down that other computer through this pc?

Well, any ideas?

Thanks :D.
 
or you can use the energy savings setting to make it automatically shut down/go to sleep after 3/5/10 minutes of inactivity.
 
Thanks, will the "shutdown -m \\machinename" just work from a dos prompt? It doesnt seem to want to work. I replaced "machinename" with the other pcs network name, which is Jal and it just says bad command :huh:.

Edit: Sorry i have windows 98 se.
 
Im on XP and the computer thats on my network is on XP and that wont work either........ Anything else?
