You can run TCP/IP over a couple of network interfaces, be it ethernet, a serial link or a lot of other media. You don't necessarily need to run a local ethernet if you have just one computer. That doesn't make much sense. You can run SLIP or PPP over a serial interface (sio0=com1) through a modem being connected to an ISP.
