Wireless Troubleshooting

How to shutdown a computer on a wireless network?

I tried everything! I tried shutdown -i and that didn't work. I even turned off the firewall and it still didn't work. Please tell me how to shutdown a computer on a wireless network. I am using a wireless network. I did the thing under my computer properties and it said....Win32:Access Denied

1. You might want to try the following: << Firstly, in order to remotely shutdown a computer on your network, you’ll need to make sure you have Administrative access to that computer. If you’re on a home network, the best way to do this is to make sure all computers are in the same workgroup and that they all have at least one Administrator account with the same user name and password. >> [1] I suggest you read the rest of the article at [1], though the previous paragraph might be all you need to know in this case.
2. if you are using a modern version of windows, hold the power button down until it shuts off
3. shutdown -s -m \\desktop -t 45 use that command on your command prompt that will help you to shut down your computer remotely...where -s Shutdown the computer -m Instruct a remote computer to shutdown (can be used with the restart & abort switches) -t xx Set a given time for shutdown, in seconds I think it will help you...
