Vista Squad

Hi everyone.

I was just wondering whether there is anyway to get my laptop to boot up my pc over the network? My laptop is running Vista and my PC is running XP Pro.

Cheers in advance

Thanks for the reply. I had a look at that it was really interesting. I have also found a Side bar gadget to wake systems on. Its really cool.

Thats a pretty sweet app.  Definitely install it at home on the laptop to wake up the media center PCs 

Just installed and tested the side bar gadget really handy!
