Ups...sorry. Actually that was for breaking encapsulation as NetNameResolver
does not have a setter for such class variable.
To do a quick test just implement a class side method in NetNameResolver
like this:

useOldNetwork: aBoolean
    UseOldNetwork := aBoolean

And then evaluate:

NetNameResolver useOldNetwork: true.
