Auto/remote turn on/off

[mattbees]

Is it possible to set my laptop to turn itselft on at a given time, or to turn it on from a remote location? I remember ages ago I knew someone who set their PC up to turn itself on and update itselft while he was at work and then shut itself down again when it finished updating. I dont necessarily want it to run updates but it would be dead handy if it could turn itself on and do various things while im away.

Thanks

It's possible, but I wouldn't know what or where to point you for advise.

Yes Its possible , set your internet to connect automatically and close Via Giga Pocket ,(I Hit The Standby button on remote ) And my PCV-W1 will close. Then open online and connect to the internet as I bring the PC out of standby. (By hitting my remote standby button) works fine In my case .

I can only think VAIO Zone or whatever its called that has replaced Giga Pocket , would allow you to do the same .

Please note that Giga Pocket will not go into standby while In record mode.

Wow, remote standby is pretty cool. I like remote desktop most though! I can sit in the garden using my desktop on my laptop over wifi, its brilliant!
