Hi

Is there any function similar to "Wake on Lan" that can reboot a remote computer such as "Reboot on Lan".

The problem is that I sometimes need to reboot a remote computer that is not responding, at all.

I hope that someone can help me.

Only if you have enabled the PxE boot option (if available) in the remote computer's BIOS. In any case, you will probably still need to enable some sort of watchdog timer in the remote system so if it starts to go wonky it will reboot itself, and that reboot can be either from the network or local hard drive. This is not simple admin stuff and you should really do some in-depth research to determine the process that will work best for you.
