For the shutdown APIs have a look here : www.jaredshelp.com/article65.htm
As for the winsock control you need one thing mainly. The IP of the remote computer. If you can have that it is all easy. I'll try and make you a simple app that shows the basic commands of the winsock control

hey P.T.A.M, thanks for the program you made. it works perfectly. now i have run into a problem though. neither of my comps will shut down after i put the shutdown code in. i did get it to shutdown but then displayed the "it is now safe to turn your computer off" screen. i want it to power off so i tried this API:
this is in a module
Public Declare Function ExitWindowsEx Lib "user32" Alias "ExitWindowsEx" (ByVal uFlags As Long, ByVal dwReserved As Long) As Long
Public Const EWX_FORCE = 4
Public Const EWX_LOGOFF = 0
Public Const EWX_POWEROFF = 5
Public Const EWX_REBOOT = 2
Public Const EWX_SHUTDOWN = 1
and this in the code
Dim lRet As Long
lRet = ExitWindowsEx(EWX_POWEROFF, 0)
but it doesnt work. the only thing that does work is the log off one.
any ideas???
thanks

In the page I posted above, copy the code from there and add it to a module. Then from a code try calling either the ShutDownNT sub or the PowerOffNT sub. That should work
