If PowerShell is available to you...

Get-Service -DisplayName *Network* | ForEach-Object{Write-Host $_.Status : $_.Name}

Will give you...

Stopped : napagent
Stopped : NetDDE
Stopped : NetDDEdsdm
Running : Netman
Running : Nla
Stopped : WMPNetworkSvc
Stopped : xmlprov

You can replace the ****Network**** with a specific service name if you just need to check one service.
