remote reboot of frozen computer

Hello - I sometimes need access to my work computer while traveling or even at home. I have found occasionally that my work computer is frozen at a time when I want access. I have set up a IP-address power strip that I can remotely cycle that will allow me to shut it down. But of course that does not reboot the computer. Can you recommend a way to set it up so that it turns itself back on?

Thanks,

Bruce

Depending on the computer that you're trying to access, there usually is a way to set it so that it automatically turns on when the power is restored. On PCs, it's usually set in the BIOS. On the Macs, it's set in the Energy Saver pane in System Preferences.
