One way would be to enable telnet server on the machin you want to control services on  add remove windows components   Open dos prompt Type telnet yourmachineip name Log on type net start  amp serviceName  e g  w3svc  This will start IIS or you can use net stop to stop a service    Depending on your setup you need to look at a way of securing the telnet connection as I think its unencrypted
