Hello,

Try this 1.

Go to the "Local Area Connection Properties" window ---> Click on the "Install"

button ---> Select "Protocol" ---> Click on "Add" button --> Select the missing 

protocol and click on OK.

Good Luck.

Yes, click "Install..." in your LAN's properties window to add missing TCP/IP component, probably the system would need you to insert Windows OS CD to complete the installation. After that you can configure TCP/IP settings and connect to your network.  

If you needs more reference, can have a look on this Windows Vista network card configuration article, hope this helps.

Thank you for responding to my problem, unfortunately when i try to add the protocol - Microsoft TCP/IP version 6 I receive the following message: 'Could not add the requested component. The error is: An extended error has occurred> When i insert the OS CD it states that it does not include any information about my hardware??
