I would use nettool.net.sys ( see my example )

SYS:run nettool.net.sys

NETTOOL Version:      B05090B7

 Enter HELP HELP for an explanation of the help facility.

 Enter HELP OPERATION for guidance on NETTOOL use.

 Commands can be abbreviated, HELP keywords cannot.

 Menu-specific commands for the ROOT:

RESOURCE    CONFIG      NAMEADDR    PING        STATUS      NMDUMP
X25STAT     X25CHECK    IPCINT      XPVAL       XPPERF      QVALNS
NSTEST      LOOPINIT    NSLOGON     SOCKINFO    filters
[1]>>>ping

And an answer came directed in a writing unexpected,
