how can I ping a computer in my network so that it responds using
gateway?
It is actually rather a hardware piece with an IP address and I would
like to check (doing it from my workplace) that it is responding to
the outside world using assigned gateway.

If its an externally routeable IP then you could use a website such as
this to traceroute to it:
http://www.netsys.com/cgi-bin/trace.cgi
Failing that, just doing a traceroute from the machine itself will show
you what route that computer is using to get to the outside world.

Your question really does not make sense. Your asking for... HOW do I
test to see if my Undescribed Network Host Device responds to a
gateway. If all is connected correctly and this Host has an IP
Address and the default gateway properly inserted it should work.
thanks

this "Hacker's Choice" tool uses UDP not ICMP, btw.

from the machine itself I cannot do anything, except change IP addr,
subnet mask, gateway. That's why the question arose. And when testing
that device from inside network, it does not use gateway, of course, -
the gateway may be set to almost ANY number.
