Yes u can just find out the mac address of the pc u want to turn on and enter the mac address into the xbmc commander settings. Also make sure in your bios u have wake in Ian enabled. And that's it
Oh you might need to go into the windows settings for the network card and select only turn on by magic packets or somthing called like that. You will need to enable that or any other computer on your network will wake your pc automaticly even if u don't want to which is where magic packets come in and only turns on when the mac address gets sent to that computer which xbmc commander would do because u would have the mac code in the settings.
Hope that helps.
