I believe there is a spot in the bios settings that you can set the computer to turn on at a certain time everyday. What model of the Dell Dimension are you working with?
It's a DELL DIMENSION 2400 with win XP.. and in the bios there is a flag to turn on the system at a time in the day, but we should be able to turn on the computer "at will"...
In your BIOS you should have an entry called AC Power Recovery. If that is set to either "On" or "Last" you can power the system off remotely and when power is restored the system will restart. Clearly this is not the recommended setting as it does not allow Windows to make a graceful shutdown but it will accomplish what you are after.
