TCP/IP settings can be accessed via the Network Connection properties dialog in Windows XP.

  1. In the Control Panel, double-click on "Network Connections." If you do not see that option, click on "Switch to Classic View" in the top left of the Window.
  2. Right-click on an icon and select "Properties"
  3. The "General" tab is selected by default. In the large box on this tab, highlight "TCP/IP" and then click the box under it that is labeled "Properties"

From here, you can change the behavior of the TCP/IP protocol.
