Hello,



Does anybody know how to turn on/ start a computer remotely via LAN using
the command prompt? I found out you can use some webs and do it using the IP
address and the Mac address, but I would like to do it using the command
prompt. I am sure there is a command that needs to be used.... Does anybody
know?

This is called Wake-On-Lan, but if the computer is fully powered off, it may
not work. In most cases, the PC is actually put to sleep or hibernation
mode.
