remotely starting a service

[Skidmark]

I have 3 computers on my network. My main computer is has 1 network card which goes to a hub. My cable-modem connects to the hub's link port, and the two other computers to the hub as well. I run AnalogX's Proxy (free) to allow the other computers access to the internet. When I'm not running the proxy, obviously the other computers don't have access to the internet, but they do have access to my computer. Is there a way that I can set it up so that my wife's computer can access my computer and tell it to run the proxy to allow her to access the internet without physically coming down stairs and doing it?

and why not just leave the proxy software running 24/7?
