Hi there, just wondering i have a pc attached to my router, filled wth media, downstairs. I watch things of it from my upstairs comp. Is there a way for when i have finished using that pc to turn it off using my computer from upstairs? I wondered if you could use something like virtual pc?
Thanks

right ive got that to work and thats fantastic! Just out of intrest is there anyway of keeping the other computer logged on, as when i virtualy log on it logs out the actually computer? Also have just noticed i cant turn it off using this as in place of the shutdown button there is a "disconnect" button instead?
Thanks
