Network Adaptor Name' or 'Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)', you must
install the TCP/IP protocol. Under Add select 'Protocol' and click
Add again. In the next dialog box under 'Manufacturer' select
'Microsoft' and under 'Network Protocol' select 'TCP/ IP'.

corresponding LAN connection and select 'Properties'.

Click the entry for the TCP/IP protocol of the network adaptor and

Settings > Control Panel >
enable the 'Never dial a connection' option. Close the dialogs with OK.
