I got a computer with 24 hours internet. I want to control it from another computer far away. Any example or framework?
And is it possible to turn on a computer and turn it off from internet?
If your motherboard supports it, you can use Wake On Lan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake-on-LAN) to turn it on, assuming you have a static IP, and there are no firewalls or routers that block the traffic. As far as remote control, it would depend on your operating system and desired level of control; the simplest would be a telnet server running as a service, all the way up to a Remote Desktop connection (on windows)

I tried to use IRC but it only allow 512 byte each send data.
I want to send more than 1 kb.
Farabi,
You can routinely use the MMC capacity in WIN2000/XP if you have the remote management enabled to manage another computer which means you can remotely turn it off. If you go to the "Computer Management" part of "Administrative Tools" and select the "Action" option from the menu you have the "Connect to another computer" option.
You must know the "Administration" password to get access to the remote machine and I think from memory you must have admin access on your local machine to access the "Computer Management" but this works fine to power down a machine.
I would use it within a LAN with no problems but I would be very careful about it across the internet without a very strong Administration password as it may be a serious security problem if it is not secured properly.
I have never bothered to set it up but if the computers BIOS supports wake up notification, I think you can configure the computer/OS to "wake up" from TCP/IP notification.
