TCP/IP properties not displayed

[Node]

Look under Network setting, network bridge, right click on
it, click on status and click on support, then details.
Will show TCP/IP information same as IP config. If you
want to see network services, TCP/IP, file and print
share, etc, it's under the network bridge properties.

I don't have a solution but I have a similar problem so take warning
before you fall into the same fate as myself. If anyone out there has
an answer I'd be most grateful to save me doing a complete reinstall
and the associated loss of productivity!

My problem: the TCP/IP protocol was not visible in my
local area connection properties and when I tried to add a new
protocol
it behaved spuriously and sometimes gave an "cannot find file" very
unspecific message.

When I right click on a vpn connection and select the tcp/ip protocol
on the networking tab, the properties button is greyed out so again I
cannot change my settings.

The support team at Futjitsu-Siemens suggested reinstalling my network
card. Now I have no networking as everytime I try to reinstall the
card is says "There was a problem installing this hardware: Realtek
RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC An error occured during the
installation of the device The system cannot find the file specified."

I've tried all the usual download latest Driver from Futjisu-Siemens
and applied SP1a for Windows XP.

Please help, I'm contemplating a windows reinstall and a day or 2 to
reconfigure all my software settings. There must be an easier way
surely??

My hardware is a Futjisu-Siemens Amilo A Series running XP Home.
