I'm looking for a program that enables me to remotely turn on a PC on a network from another terminal (laptop), i've used VNC in the past but found it difficult to use and not well suited to my needs. I'm a cheap guy so I would like to use something that is free of charge, any ideas?

Do some research on WOL (Wake-on-LAN).

The below link might be useful. Offers a few ways to achieve what you want without paying.

I tried the software recommended on that page, it works! Thanks.
