The easiest way, I think, is to compile the "bb" command from Hobbit on
a Windows box and then use it to run 
  bb 10.0.0.1 "query myserver.memory"
and see if it says "green" or "red".

It isn't terribly difficult to get the bb utility in Hobbit compiled on
a Windows box with Cygwin, but in case you don't know why there is a
pre-compiled version at http://www.hswn.dk/~henrik/bbutility.zip
Since it was built with Cygwin, it needs the "cygwin1.dll" library; this 
is included in the zip-file. I think it should just be in the default
directory when you run the bb.exe program.
