I believe you can also ping an IP address and find out if the PC is in use.
Most routers have an option not to respond to a ping request. Make sure it is set. You should also be able to operate in stealth mode so the router does not respond to port scans.
An easy way to check is to use ShieldsUp on the Gibson Research website
