Unable to remove a machine from a domain

[Nick]

Hello

Im trying to remove a machine from a domain, when I browse to the computer
name tab, both "Network ID" and "Change" buttons are grayed out with a
message that reads.

Note, The Identification of the computer cannot be changed becuase:
-Networking is not installed or is not properly configured.

I am able to aquire a valid IP via DHCP and am able to browse the web. I can
ping servers on my network, but are unable to map any connection to them.

I am logged in with a local admin account, and also have a domain account
that has permissions to add and remove machines to a domain.

Any ideas?
Thanks
Nick
