I do not think so - DHCP server and router are not the same...
I think there is not way of telling what the IP of the closest router, but OP may get all the IP addresses from his machine to the target. This called trace...

Hi OriginalGriff,

Thanks for your reply.

I have choose a approach to discover network nodes and connectivity among them.

(I) Determining the ip address of the nearest router using ICMP protocol.
(II) Further this ip address of the router will be used to find the other connected devices
using SNMP and ICMP protocol.
(III) Continuous monitoring of discovered devices using ICMP.

I am trying to achive the first step.so, i use C# ping class for ICMP echo messages.
Then, i know that, "If ping reply address is not same as the address on which request was sent,
it is the router address."(Router will sent reply when sender could not reach the specified destination)

but, when i check reply address ,it is not a router address.

if (reply.Status == IPStatus.DestinationHostUnreachable)
{
Console.WriteLine("Address: {0}", reply.Address);
}

please guide me as to what exactly i'm going wrong here .

Thanks_
