Pinging remote networks IP

[NotDoneSam]

Not sure if this is the right forum but it seems the closest that I can find.

I have a product that monitors servers and alerts us to uptime. I want to monitor a system at another one of our sites. I want to ping in internal IP address that is on a server but we do not have a VPN tunnell setup. Is there any way I can ping the IP address from a remote site to an internal address 192.168.1.123. We only have a linksys router at the remote site as it is very small. Any suggestions would help. Some type of Port forwarding? Thanks

ICMP (Ping) is a portless IP protocol, so I'm not sure how you would forward it. A better option would be to port forward SNMP, (ports 161 (TCP, UDP) server, and 162 (TCP, UDP) traps).

Good luck.
