Hi

The amount of PC's in my house has grown since I installed 4 PC's into my lads bedroom, plus we have PC in living room and bedroom, plus we have 2 laptops

I am trying to find a good reliable program to startup and shutdown pc's remotly

Can anyone recommend one

Oh and if anyone would like to see the pictures of my boys room I think you will like it, I built 2 double wardrobes putting 4 PC's and the Virgin box behind one of the doors, just let me know I will post em up

Thanks

    Awesome Pics btw,

    Do your PC's support Wake-On-Lan???

    If they do then your all set, just configure it in the bios on all machines and then write a cli script for windows after finding a decent free wol.exe to run.

    Let me know if you have any issues.

    Regards,
    David

    Shutdown is easy.

    As long as they're all set on the same workgroup.

    Start, Run, shutdown -i

    Like someone else said, make sure the motherboard/LAN support wake-on LAN.

    Yeah if they support Wake on LAN, you might try this out:

    WakeOnLAN - Aquila Technology, LLC

    It's worked pretty well for me at the office.

    I am pretty sure they all support wake on LAN

    I am only trying it on 1 PC at the moment until I get it working, I have installed a copy of solar winds lan surveyor, but when I try to see information about a PC I get following message

    "The NEON responder seems to be unresponsive"

    also on start up I get this, am guessing it has something to do with this problem but I have never used solar winds so am a bit of a noob

    "At launch, LAN surveyor sends an ICMP ping/echo to itself to test your system settings. A response was not recieved.

    Therefore the following features are unavailable

    Node discovery via ICMP"

    But it does find all of my PC's and their names and IP's show in a nice little diagram :)

    Any help would be great
