I have XP home and XP pro, and when I try to use the shutdown command from
the command prompt for a remote computer, it does not work. I have tried
with IP addresses:

shutdown -r -m 192.168.1.33

It still does not work.

Any suggestions?

Shutdown should be:
%windir%\System32\SHUTDOWN.exe -s -t 05

I usually just make a shortcut to it, put it on the remote computers
desktop, and click the shortcut to shutdown. The -t is optional and is time
in seconds before shutdown occurs.
 
I am sorry, I did not state the problem correctly.

I want to be able to have a shortcut on my computer that will make another
computer reboot.

Oh sorry, I thought you were remotely connecting to the computer using
remote desktop. I don't know of a way to do what you want.
