Sounds like you don't have dialup networking installed. Just run Windows setup and install dialup networking and it'll probably work. You shouldn't need TCP or anything fancy like that unless you were gonna play across a lan.

Did you reboot afterwards? You have to reboot for something like that to take effect.
