| That kind of technology exists, look for "wake on LAN", thi is the way u can turn on a computer from a remote place, using a LAN or the internet in this case, this has to do with the type on ethernet boeard u have, maybe u can find some ideas there.

Hello Serankko,
Wake-on LAN is only for turning on computers. If you have a computer switched on anyway, this is the easiest solution. Just run a server program on it and control the parallel port or whatever from the server.
I assume though that you want something completely independant of a PC. I am looking for something similar, probably to build, to control various devices around the home.
There are a few commercial products for this, for example at
http://www.micronica.com.au/catalog/remote/
but they are expensive. What you need is a simple MCU-based, ethernet-enabled board, maybe with a web server. Elektor have just published a project for one, in the July/August issue, alhtough this requires building a seperate MCU board from a previous project. It looks good though allowing control of the board from the web pages it serves.
There are others out there, for instance take a look at
http://www.edtp.com/
It really depends what you want to spend and how much you want to build/fiddle with.
Hope this has helped,
FoxyRick.
