I know the external ip, like the provided by the ISP and the administrator account password. I need to restart one computer, but I don't know his local ip (given by the router), how can I reboot it ?
Actually, would be better access by the Destop Remote Connection but as I said, I just know the external IP (I'm in my home now, not in the LAN).
Any idea ?
Answer
While this should not be construed as advice about ensuring your machine is secure, if you want to access a Windows 7 machine remotely over RDP, you need to port forward TCP port 3389 on your router to the internal address of your W7 machine.
This will allow you to RDP to it from outside your network. It is worth looking into http://no-ip.org or http://dyndns.org as well to make sure your public IP address has a DNS entry so you don't need to work out the IP each time.
Then to reboot it, start a cmd shell as administrator (Start / Search and type "cmd" / and then right-click, Run as Administrator). Then type
shutdown /r now
Which will reboot your machine "now".
