If its possible, can someone give me guide about how to shut down another computer that using the same network as you.

While it is possible, you are going to have to provide more details as to why you want to do this. It's quite possible this will fall under the umbrella of "hacking" and it's generally not something we encourage or support on this forum.
 
Simple, with a suitable server/service running on the desired machine - log in via ssh/rdp/telnet/rsync and authenticate properly, then issue the appropriate shutdown command for the target operating system.

Any method which doesn't require authentication (assuming it is a machine which you don't own) would be a denial of service and therefore illegal in most countries.

First Ty for answering and second do I have to use computer to do the shutdown or I can do it with iPhone? Oh and if I have to do it in computer which command I need to use?

I thought it would be of use for others to know that this is theoretically possible to do from an iPhone, provided you have an app which can do remote logins - but I don't own one so I'm not sure whether they can do this out-of-the-box.

I have yet to see justification for this line of inquiry which will lead me to believe you wish to use this for legitimate purposes. As such I will not provide any further technical details.

I agree (and assume you mean non-legitimate).
 
No I did mean legitimate, as in everything so far seems to indicate non-legitimate use - and therefore I have yet to see anything that would convince me it is intended to be used legitimately. Semantics anyhow, we agree.
 
Code:
C:\>shutdown /?
Usage: shutdown [/i | /l | /s | /r | /g | /a | /p | /h | /e] [/f]
    [/m \\computer][/t xxx][/d [p|u:]xx:yy [/c "comment"]]

    No args    Display help. This is the same as typing /?.
    /?         Display help. This is the same as not typing any options.
    /i         Display the graphical user interface (GUI).
               This must be the first option.
    /l         Log off. This cannot be used with /m or /d options.
   [B] /s         Shutdown the computer.[/B]
    /r         Shutdown and restart the computer.
    /g         Shutdown and restart the computer. After the system is
               rebooted, restart any registered applications.
    /a         Abort a system shutdown.
               This can only be used during the time-out period.
    /p         Turn off the local computer with no time-out or warning.
               Can be used with /d and /f options.
    /h         Hibernate the local computer.
               Can be used with the /f option.
    /e         Document the reason for an unexpected shutdown of a computer.
   [B] /m \\computer Specify the target computer.[/B]
   [B] /t xxx     Set the time-out period before shutdown to xxx seconds.
               The valid range is 0-315360000 (10 years), with a default of 30.
               If the timeout period is greater than 0, the /f parameter is
               implied.[/B]
[B]    /c "comment" Comment on the reason for the restart or shutdown.
               Maximum of 512 characters allowed.
    /f         Force running applications to close without forewarning users.
               The /f parameter is implied when a value greater than 0 is
               specified for the /t parameter.[/B]
 [B]   /d [p|u:]xx:yy  Provide the reason for the restart or shutdown.
               p indicates that the restart or shutdown is planned.
               u indicates that the reason is user defined.
               If neither p nor u is specified the restart or shutdown is
               unplanned.[/B]
               xx is the major reason number (positive integer less than 256).
               yy is the minor reason number (positive integer less than 65536).

C:\>

shutdown /s /f /m \\computer-name /t 0 /d p:0:0 /c "shutting down now"

that should work, assuming that you have the relevant permissions on the machine to instigate such a task :)
 
Or using rdp you can log in using your credentials for the remote machine and initiate a shutdown using the start menu. The remote machine has to have rdp turned on and you have to have a user account you can access.

If you are trying to get an unwanted guest off of your network you can just change the password to the network or block the MAC address.
 
I use teamviewer on my server and in the case that I do shut it down, it shuts down through that.
