Configuration of network-adaptor not possible Window Server 2003

When trying to configure the network-adaptor via "Local Area connection properties" it only shows the "Client for Microsoft Networks", not the protocols.
The adaptor works fine via TCP/IP, and the command IPCONFIG shows correct configuration.
When trying to add a protocol, the above mentioned error-message is displayed.
It seems that someone in the past (not me) have installed Ip-version 6 (when listing the config via IPCONFIG), maybe it can have caused some of the trouble.

The server has to be running, so any suggestions must not result in "Blue screen".

The adaptor has to have a new IP-address, is there a Turn-around to give it a new address, not using the grahic "Local Area connection properties" ?

The following commands will change the IP, but this assumes IPV4 is installed. I would look into your issues above before running them. Does IPV config show up in an ipconfig at a command line?

netsh interface ip set address name = "Local Area Connection" source = static addr = 10.0.0.99 mask = 255.255.255.0
netsh interface ip set address name = "Local Area Connection" gateway = 10.0.0.254 gwmetric = 1
netsh interface ip set dns name = "Local Area Connection" source = static addr = 24.24.24.1
netsh interface ip add dns name = "Local Area Connection" addr = 24.24.24.2
netsh interface ip show config

IPCONFIG shows the normal ip-address 10.50.48.198 AND fe80::20c:76ff:fead:3698%4

Thank Robwill, sorry for the delayed reply. It seems that the server now runs without IP V6, and via the Cooamnd prompt, I made the changes ti the IP-address. Still not any Protocol in the "Local Area connection properties" window
