Network boot?
I have my XP laptop (downstairs) networked with my XP desktop (upstairs). Is it possible to boot the desktop PC from the laptop - or vice-versa?
Thanks in advance, David.

Well, trigger a boot remotely from my laptop - I suppose. I once read somewhere (I'm sure) that a boot can be triggered from one machine on a network to boot up another machine on the same network. Not at all sure how it works, but apparently, a 'packet' is sent from one machine on the network that the other machine 'recognizes' and boots up.
