For the information of other readers, I've found a resolution to my problem.
Under the control panel in XP, select Add Hardware. Let the computer go through the
search, and select "I've already connected the Hardware". In the list of devices,
select "Add new Hardware Device", and select "Install Hardware I manually select
from list". Select "Show all devices". Under the manufacturers list, select "Microsoft"
and select "Network Loopback Adapter" under the devices. This will install a loopback
adapter that can be used to spoof XP into keeping the TCP/IP alive on the system
with no external connections.
I hope this helps others.
