Is it possible to make my local computer function as a gateway in Java? I need the other local machines to connect directly to my computer to see if they are alive or not.

Try this.
Create a Java Server Socket, which keeps listening to the client at some port.
Write a client in Java which connects to the Server, wrap the connection logic in try-catch block….
If your host is alive the try code is executed which contains the code to connect to the
Server, if this connection process fails you will get UnknownHostException, here you can instead type a message that the connection failed.
