Updating the
TCP ConnectionOffloadProperties
There are two types of TCP Connection Offload properties. The TCP
Connection Offload (IPv4) property enables or disables TOE offload when
the IPv4 protocol is in use. The TCP Connection Offload (IPv6) property
enables or disables TOE offload when the IPv6 protocol is in use. By
default, this property is enabled for both the IPv4 and IPv6 versions.
To set TCP Connection Offload for both the IPv4 and IPv6 properties, do
the following:
1. Access the Advanced tab:
For Windows Server 2003 Operating systems, see “Selecting the
Advanced Tab in Windows Server 2003” on page 100.

7 Operating systems, see “Selecting the Advanced Tab in
Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Windows 7”
on page 103.

Tab in Windows Vista” on page 104.
