In order to configure TCP/IP, you must install and enable a
network adapter
card.

my LAN card is enabled , i donno how this happened..any help

If it’s complaining the network card isn’t found, try reinstalling
the drivers for it.

"In order to configure TCP/IP, you must install and enable a network

Surely that sentance means there isn’t a network adapter installed,
since it’s asking for you to install one. Unless of your you simply
disabled it.

My guess is that the O.P. took out the "wired" network adapter and replaced
it with the wireless equivalent adapter. Now they would have to un-do this
to go back to a "wired" access.
