Start VMWare VM upon remote connection

Start VMWare VM upon remote connection

I am hosting a VM of winXP from my brother, who has a slower computer and wants to use my power xD. The issue is I hate having to have my VM running the entire time when he just uses it about 1 hour about three times a week. Is there a way in VMware to start the VMware when he tries to connect to it? He has a Mac and I have windows 7 Thanks!
