You can't. Most of that information is not in a packet.

Depending on where you capture you'll either see the private or the public IP address (inside of a NAT or outside, respectively). The subnet mask is not transmitted as it has no relevance for the recipient, and that also means that you cannot determine broadcast or the net base address.
