Probably the easiest way is to run tcpdump.  You'll want options to
limit the output to ICMP traffic.  "man tcpdump" for details.

If, however, REMOTE's IP address is in a network address translation
scheme, and LOCAL is outside that network address translation scheme,
you will only be able to discover the IP address that REMOTE's router
assigns to it.
