You won't be able to run a script on a remote computer without first getting the script onto that computer.
Do you have access to the remote computer in question? If not, there's not much point in looking into a script.
Hope this helps,

I would look at using a server-side solution to do this... since client-side (using Javascript) you do not have the resources available (without resorting to using ActiveX - IE windows only solution).
If you merely want to ping the IP address of the router (to test for it's presence) then this is the easiest to do (server-side)... but if you want to query it at a specific port for detaisl (like it's name), then you are going to have to do some serious trial and error on that server-side code.
Maybe there is already a web tool that they have to do this kind of thing? Has anyone heard of this as an API for developers to implement server-side?
Cheers,
Jeff

Do routers follow any kind of standards that could readily allow a script to have them report back their ID info?
Many routers are configured to not respond to ping requests, at least those exposed to the internet directly and I would think that router manufacturers for large business use would have their own proprietary methods of tracking the router config and statistics information to keep the companies standardized on a single brand and have one software monitoring setup for their IT/Data Center personnel to use.
It's hard to think outside the box when I'm trapped in a cubicle.
In an increasingly self-focused society it is important to recognize the unselfish actions of others so they will feel encouraged to continue such actions. Please give acknowledgement to those who aid you whether it is waving to the person who let you out in traffic, tha
