Do you have any networking components installed on your pc? like TCP/IP? If no, install the TCP/IP and configure it according to your needs, it should then show you the networking.

I am not sure if you have a network adaptar installed correctly!?

I agree with the above response and would like to put it another way...check Device Manager to see if you have a network interface card installed. If you do, you could remove and reinstall it. Installing the NIC will put back TCPIP (and other protocols). you are on a network? or you need your NIC for broadband?
Include details about which OS and NIC and we can help better without making assumptions...

I had already checked the device manager and removed and reloaded drivers for the ethernet NIC before I posted my question. I do notice that the AFD service the TCP/IP is dependant upon in not functioning. I usually don't post the questions unless I have checked everything. I will look into the AFD problem.
