Small script. Don't know if invoking firefox this way will do what you want; play with it if it doesn't.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/env ksh

grep John remotecomputers.txt | head - 1 | read junk ip junk   
nxt_ip="${ip%.*}.$(( ${ip##*.} + 1 ))"

firefox "http://$ip"
firefox "http://$nxt_ip"

The "shell magic":
Code:
${ip%.*}  # delete the shortest string .* from the contents of the variable as it is expanded
${ip##*.}  # delete the longest string *.  from the contents of the variable as it is expanded
$((  expr ))   # compute the expression in the double parens

The code assumes that the lines in the input file have the IP address as the second token, something like:
Code:
John 192.16.18.1  some comments or junk

It will also only use the first line that matches in the input file.
