Not entirely. The nbstat was run from a non-priveleged account which didn't have admin rights. Or you can grant read access to the Win32::NetworkAdapter class in WMI, but that takes the piss a little. Or you could poll the remote router for its arp cache with snmp after you've done your ping. Or you could install a daemon on the remote subnet and get that to do the work of polling its arp cache and returning the results. Or you could install snmp on the remote host.
