Auto Reboot XP after power failure

Is it possible to make XP pro reboot if for some reason it stopped like if the power goes out. Usually, the computer stays off after a power shutdown. How does the wake on LAN thing work?

It's not something you can tell XP to do, as power has been removed from the system it's like turning on a system from cold. Wake on LAN is an consideration but will usually need configured in several places before you can attempt it:

Alternatively, you could consider buying an uninterrupted power supply (UPS).
 
Theres a good chance there's a setting in your BIOS that would allow you to start the computer after a power failure... At least mine does.
