yes it is possible. I do now know specifically how to do it, but I know that you need a network card that has whats called WON (wake on lan). Most newer NIC cards have them, but I don't know about on-board ones. Best bet is to look at your motherboard manual for your PC, and if it has WON there should be a page or two on how to use it.
