'Creative' spelling aside?
Sounds more like a networking or XP question - XP "DOS" is an emulation.
Posting in multiple forums - other than when a more appropriate forum is suggested by a computing.net participant - is contrary to site policy

Looks to me like you're not logged in to xp as admin...i might be way off, but it seems to me remote shutdown of an nt machine isn't allowed except for administrator logins..so how are you logging into the xp machine?

Install VNC and you will be able to get to the other machines desktop and execute shutdown.
