There's a commercial program called WhatsUp Gold from http://www.ipswitch.com that can do this sort of thing. I still wouldn't hold out hope for Wintendo. Actually, I haven't tried it on 9x so it's just a hunch.

It's a great program that can be used to monitor all sort of SNMP stuff (and more) and every IT dept should have something like this.
