asked on

Is there any way or device that will turn on a computer remotely besides wake on LAN?

Lets say some kind of device you could use where you can dial a phone number or turn it on over the internet etc.

Will wake on LAN work over the internet? What do you need to do that if so?

To do it over the internet what do you need to have? Im assuming a static IP and some way to translate it from your router/firewall to your local machines IP?
Static IP is a must have....you would use port forwarding and that is deterimined by the device being used.

port forwarding if you want to go behind a router..
