Only using another computer/turtle.
Using 1 Computer, wrap another one as a peripheral using:
comp = peripheral.wrap(side)
then use
comp.turnOn()
and it should turn on.

if you have 2 comps next to each other and one of them is listening to rednet then all you have to do is send a message to that computer from any location and you could make it turn on

I don't see how you even could turn on a computer with rednet, without using a turtle, since the computer would have to be on in order to receive a rednet message, but you could make a program run from an other computer like so (hoping thats why you wanted to have it turn on from an other computer)
id, msg = rednet.receive()
if msg == ("YOUR KEYWORD") then
shell.run("FILE YOU WANTED") -- Or any function you want, doesn't have to run a file.
end
-- and to loop it (hoping you already know this)
while true do
id, msg = rednet.receive()
if msg == ("YOUR KEYWORD") then
shell.run("FILE YOU WANTED") -- Or any function you want, doesn't have to run a file.
end
end
Lol again sorry if this wasn't what you were looking for.
