I use dialup networking, but when I select multi-player I only get
serial and modem as options. How do I get IP networking to appear?

A couple of questions.....
Are you trying to play over the Internet?
Are you dialing into a friends computer?
Are you logging into a game service such as MS Gaming Zone?
If you open up a DOS window and at the prompt type winipcfg are you
showing an IP address?
If not, you need to check your Network Neighborhood and see if you have a
listing for TCP/IP for your modem.
If you don't, you need to install it.

I want to use dial-up networking to play over TCP/IP. I am already using
dial-up networking. My browser (Netscape) works just fine and I am
communicating over the internet. Its just AOE which does not have any TCP/IP
option appearing when I try to play.

David,
aoe (and every other directx game) uses directplay for that connection.
reinstall Directx and give it another shot. if it STILL doesn't work,
download the directx installation program and install directx while you're
in safe mode (press F5 during boot to get to safe mode). this ususally works
wonders w/ DX.

David,
You have to have at least 2 computers each with it's own NIC. Then those
cards have to have the TCP and IPX protocols added in order to play over a
LAN correctly........
What you have now is the TCP for your Dial-Up connection with your
ISP........
If you have a Networking Card and another computer with a NIC in it also,
then just add the protocols.... If you need help feel free to e-email me.

Solution 1 – Reboot the system
Ethernet doesn’t have a valid IP configuration error can be caused by Fast Startup feature. To fix this error, you need to follow these steps to disable Fast Startup:
Press Windows Key + S and enter control panel. Now select Control Panel from the list of results.
Ethernet doesn't have a valid IP configuration TP Link
Select the Power Options from Control Panel.
Ethernet doesn't have a valid IP configuration TP Netgear
In the left pane, click on Choose what the power button does.
Ethernet doesn't have a valid IP configuration Powerline
Select Change settings that are currently unavailable.
Ethernet doesn't have a valid IP configuration router
Uncheck the box beside Turn on fast startup (recommended) near the bottom of the window to turn off Fast Startup.
Select Save changes.
Ethernet doesn't have a valid IP query
Reboot your computer.
Solution 2 – Check the Network Adapter Settings
The router works to designate the IP address automatically. This is the default setting, though you can still choose to assign a specific IP address. In that case, you ought to set the IP address to automatic first and check the Internet Properties for the correct settings once it is connected. Follow the instructions below:
Hold the Windows Key and press R.
Enter ncpa.cpl in the input field and click OK.
Ethernet doesn't have a valid IP configuration Unidentified Network
Right click your Network Adapter in the Network Connections window and select Properties.
Ethernet doesn't have a valid connection
From the Ethernet Properties window, select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click on Properties.
Ethernet doesn't have a valid config
You will then see the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties window. Enable the following options:
Obtain an IP Address Automatically
Obtain DNS Server Address Automatically
If obtaining the IP address and DNS automatically doesn’t fix the problem, you might want to consider setting both your IP address and DNS manually. To do that, follow these steps:
Open your connection properties, select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click on Properties.
Now select Use the following IP address and Use the following DNS server addresses. Fill in the data like on the screenshot below. After you’re done, click OK to save changes. To see the necessary information such as Default gateway and Subnet mask, you can just check connection properties on any other device that can connect successfully to your network.
Ethernet doesn't have a valid IP address
Keep in mind that we changed our DNS to Google’s DNS in our solutions. According to users, it’s not mandatory to change both IP address and DNS, but if setting the IP address manually doesn’t help, be sure to change your DNS as well.
Solution 3 – Restart the router and check Ethernet cable
After performing the steps above, turn off your router or modem and switch it back on after five minutes. Now check if your PC has the valid IP configuration. If it still does not work, connect your router to your PC using a different Ethernet cable.
Otherwise, you may need to use a different router. If connecting to other routers won’t solve the problem, then there is an issue with your network card. Perform a factory restore to your network card, and if it does not help, replace it.
Solution 4 – Reinstall your Network Adapter
After completing the steps above, you must uninstall and reinstall your network adapter. Here is how:
Hold the Windows Key and press R.
Type hdwwiz.cpl in the input field and click OK.
Ethernet doesn't work
Expand the Network Adapters, right click on your Ethernet card, and choose Uninstall device.
Ethernet doesn't work on laptop
When the confirmation dialog appears, click on Uninstall.
Ethernet doesn't have IP configuration
Reinstall your network adapter using the driver accompanying the hardware.
If reinstalling the Ethernet card does not solve the problem, you should reinstall the network interface card using the latest version of the driver from the manufacturer’s portal.
Solution 5 – Use Command Prompt
If you can’t access Internet due to Ethernet doesn’t have a valid IP configuration error message, you might be able to solve the problem by using Command Prompt. According to users, you can solve this problem simply by running a couple of commands. To do that, follow these steps:
Press Windows Key + X and choose Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu. If Command Prompt isn’t available, feel free to use PowerShell (Admin) instead.
Ethernet doesn't connect to Internet
When Command Prompt opens, enter the following commands:
netsh winsock reset
netsh int IP reset
After running these commands, you just have to restart your PC in order to apply the changes. Once your PC restarts, the problem should be resolved and you’ll be able to access the Internet without any issues.
