TCP/IP properties not displayed

[Willy]

Hi There,

I have a Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC in
my Win XP Pro machine.
Compaq 8000T, 2.8Ghz, 512MB DDR 3200 RAM, 160G HD, 800Mhz
FSB, Hyperthreading. When I right click on "My Network
Places" to get the TCP/IP properties; they are not
displayed. In network connections, in Local Area
Connections> Right click>Properties, I get no option to
look at "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)". All that is
displayed under the "General" tab is "Connect using:
Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC", and
the "Components checked are used by this connection" area
is not displayed. I have added this machine to
my "MSHOME" workgroup. I can see other machines from this
machine one on my network, however, I cannot see this
machine locally, or from other machines. Other machines
are running WIN 2000 Server (not set up as server), and
XP home. I have no problem seeing any other machine on my
network from all other machines except for this one.
Again, can get to resources on other machines in the
network from this machine, but not vice versa even though
I've shared the drives.
Any ideas?

Thanks,

Bill
