I'm not very experianced with routers, and need some help in checking out some network connections. I need to log in to our local router (call it Router A), and initiate a ping and trace route from Router B to Router C, both of which are across the WAN, as if I were at B. Do I need to somehow get to the prompt at B? I need the results to show up where I am as well.
