Just to add a quick note on the other network tool (which isn't on the
bootcd):

* tracert jumps straight to the destination node as we are not yet able to
set TTL values in raw packets, thus we get the default 128. This will be
fixed upon implementation of setsockopt().
We also get jibberish when resolving name info. This will be fixed when
WS2_32 has getnameinfo()
It works as expected in Windows.
