    You may be able to troubleshoot this by working within the office LAN, if
    possible.

    In the offices I work with, where workstations are joined to a domain, and
    the Internet connection is always on--provided by a router or ISA Server
    2000--I can reboot any workstation, or power (most of) them on remotely.

    Remote Desktop is a service and is active before logon.

    The Internet connection, if credentials are saved for a specific user,
    rather than all users, may not be active, however. Say more about how the
    office machines connect to the Internet and whether there's a domain or
    simply a workgroup involved?
