Where's my TCP/IP?

I'd also say possible malware infection...
Did you try another network card / cable?
If it's a registry/Windows issue, this tool could help: http://wiki.lunarsoft.net/wiki/Dial-a-fix.

Not really, no - to make the distinction clearer, what do you think a linux user would say if you asked him to open a DOS prompt? ;) (and yes, the scenarios are comparable).

I'd smile and say "OK." Then I'd open up a bash terminal session. ;)

Speaking from the darker side of practical...the last think any EvilWare want's to do is cut itself off from the outside world.
WinSOCK & friends being borked won't stop TCP/IP from being listed, it just renders it useless.
I'm inclined to think this is a hardware malfunction, as in the NIC is half dead and either doesn't claim to need TCP/IP any more or has Phantom Deviced itself and the protol is being bound uselessly to it's "shadow" (I've seen both happen).
Use this to start Device Manager, make sure show hidden devices is selected, and see if the NIC is listed twice.
@echo off
Echo Find Phantom Devices
set DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1
start devmgmt.msc
exit
...Granted this was more of a Win2k (era) issue, but that doesn't mean it can't still happen.
