Changing port number

[anneaunimme]

I have a program which allow my computer to communicate to another device using an ethernet Cable.
The thing is that this program is set so that it can only work through a specific IP address and a specific port number.
Let's say :
IP address : 192.234.1.101
Port Number: 5555

When I connect the cable between the computer and the device, the connection is recognized as a "Local Area Connection" but when I try to run the program I have an error telling me that it cannot connect using the configured Ip address and port number.

So I basically need to change the IP address and Port Number of this"Local Area Connection".... but How can I do that ???

You can change the IP on WinXP by going to your Control Panel and clicking on Network Connections. That will bring up the Local Area Connection, which you then right-click and select Properties. In the "this connection uses the following items:" dialogue, go down to the bottom 'Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)', click it, and then click the Properties button below it. There you should be able to set the static IP.
