Remote powerup

Hi all,

I have a server that sits in the spare room, that is used to download stuff at night. However, it gets shutdown during the day because i dont want it to run up bills and cause any hazards whilst im out etc etc

Anyways, my question is, is there a way of powering up the pc remotely via the network? or on some sort of scheduling device or via windows etc?

Thought about wake-on-lan, but its connected to a router (which does stay on) so im worried that anything that gets forwarded to the server, will cause it to switch on when i dont want it to

tar all,
Dom
