Configuring TCP/IP

I have a laptop with a built-in ethernet port. The port
is recognized as a Network Adapter under Device Manager.
However, when im trying to give the computer an IP
address, I right-click on Network Neighborhood and bring
up the configuration, and none of the TCP/IP protocols
list my specific network adapter. They only list dial up
adapters. How do i get my network adapter to show up here?

did you try to "add" an adapter in control panel>network ?

While in the Network properties screen click Add, Protocol, Microsoft,
TCP/IP.
