Sorry webmaster@peoplegauge.com ...
The Apache server expects a robust implementation of the TCP/IP stack
layer, and that is obviously not true of the McAfee product. Microsoft
makes it fairly trivial to write a stripped down TCP/IP provider or hook,
but it is relatively difficult to design one to properly handle socket
handle inheritence. See the ancient issues of the Aventail connent VPN
client... which didn't work properly for a very long time {if ever}.
<http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/FAQ.html#WSADuplicateSocket>
All we can advise is that you upgrade to a more robust firewall product
or consider dealing with your firewall issues at your router or dedicated
firewall box.
Based on feedback, I'm closing this report and reclassing as an FAQ.
