There are some new remote command line utilities, but for things like adding services and rebooting machines, you'd probably be better off with a remote control product (pcAnywhere is probably the best known of these). If you have Internet connectivity with static IP addresses between the sites, you could use a "public domain" (i.e., free) software product from AT&T Labs called VNC. Go to http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/. If you have only dial-up connections, you'd probably be better off with pcAnywhere (I'm not even sure you can configure VNC for dial-up - it's a TCP/IP-based product), even though it costs a few dollars. Hope this helps!

I can't think of any way to remotely change ip-settings on a machine other then by remotely manage it with a tool like VNC, Radmin e.g. But when you make your changes, I advise you to change the settings so that these machines get their ip-address and other info by DHCP automatically. This way you can make your adjustments on the dhcp-server and all the stations will get the right settings.
