Yes.  All sample kernels include the necessicary internet protocols.
I'm frankly not sure the kernel can be compiled without them.  inetd is
enabled by default in the standard config and has nothing to do with
the kernel anyway.  You can choose a more paranoid config, but that
would be a bad idea for a new user, IMO.  That's no this users's problem
though.  He needs to go ask about network configuration on -questions
with something resembling a specific question.  "My nic doesn't work"
is not a question that's going to generate a lot of useful responses.
