After some fun & games at my site, I'm looking at making this advise
more prominent.  

The other option is to make sure you *do not* run port 80 on that
server, or that Apache is running.

The worst possible situation is something that causes XP to have to
timeout, or a server that does not return 'please don't do that' in the
form the XP wants to the WebDAV requests.

(I had an open source project called 'belts' running there, which caused
mayhem).
