no.
You CAN IF the network card supports it query the network card using a proprietary API for that card and command it to do some things.
This is (for security reasons) usually either disabled, not installed, or severely limited.
You'd also need a (usuall) C or C++ program for it.
And no, we're not going to help you write a program that can shut down another computer over the internet.
