Remotely shutdown Windows through Xubuntu

[fatali]

Does anyone know of an easy way to remotely shutdown a Windows XP machine from Xubuntu in a home LAN?

I don't know of an equivalent to the SysInternals remote shutdown program, but you can always VNC or RDP into the XP machine.  Check out UltraVNC and rdesktop, if you haven't already.  VNC is probably the easiest to set up.

Well you could use netcat  if you put it on the windows machine. I think its standard for linux... it will give you a cmd prompt for the remote machine witch you can use to shutdown windows with "shutdown -s -f "
