Solve : Self starting XP??

1.	Solve : Self starting XP??
Answer» Is there a setting in XP where you can set an "on" time where the PC restarts itself from hibernate? Is it possible to start XP remotely via a command from another computer on a workstation network? If the answer is "yes" to either or both scenario's or another one that I didn't mention, please TELL me how i can change the settings. Has anyone ever had this happen to them? Does anyone know what to do? where to look for an instruction to do this? If there is a way to send the computer and instruction to awake from hibernation with a remote command i'd like to set it up myself. Perhaps someone can explain "hibernation" and why some computers do not offer this option. Thanks I'm not sure about XP, but in Vista there is a thing called "Remote Desktop Connection".
