TCP connection timeout

I've installed a server application in my w2000 which does
not close TCP connections with no activity. I need to know
what TCP parameter in the registry I should set up so that
the operating system close those TCP connections with no
traffic after a timeout.

any help is appreciated.

When you say a server should close a connection with no activity I
am assuming it it a valid connection, the peer is still up, it is just there
is no data sent between them. There is no mechanism in TCP to shut this
connection down because this is a perfectly valid connection. If you are
concerned about the case where the peer dies without informing the server,
that can be handled by keepalives (not preferred).
