Network bridging preventing me from connecting online on laptop

[FuzzyWuzzy]

This is at school, using high speed connecting via ethernet CAT5 cable. I was told I need to disable network bridging to get online? I dont know what this is, but someone said its some long distance dialer thingy. It came on my laptop preloaded so...

So how do I do this? Go to network in control panel?

I was told I need to be able to see TCP/IP showing up when I go to the network connections properties.

that PC has a built in LAN.
so you should be able to plug the cat5 cable into the lan connector on laptop to gain access to network.

you will also need to goto network connections> lan>properties> see if it has TCP/IP in there.
