Rebooting a machine through a VPN?

[Slime101]

Is it possible, if so how, to reboot a remote machine through a standard VPN??

I have access to an XP machine, usually though RDT (using teamviewer) however its stopped working this evening, i still have access through a VPN but can i reboot the machine somehow??

Sadly that al assumes an RDT connection where you can get to the start button, or "my computer" to manage it....i only have VPN access so dont have these.
