[users@httpd] apache hangs when getting pages from win2k

Hi, I have the exact same problem as described a week ago in another thread, but that thread didn't seem to come to a solution, hard to say because I found it in the archives before subscribing to the list. 

In any case, the situation is this: 
  a.. Latest apache (2.0.47) on Win2k Pro latest service pack/patches etc
  b.. Default configuration file httpd.conf, with ServerName localhost, explicit ip, or 127.0.0.1, tried them all 
  c.. Running apache -t says no syntax errors
  d.. Apache runs
  e.. If I try http://localhost/ or http://127.0.0.1/ or http://192.168.2.2/, the browser just keeps waiting forever (never stops, tried leaving overnight)
  f.. I checked with netstate -an that no other process is using port 80 before starting apache
  g.. I can also see when attempting to get a page that the connection on port 80 is active (i.e., netstat -an shows two new entries, one for 127.0.0.1:80 and one for 127.0.0.1:N where N is the port used, presumably, by MSIE)
  h.. Set LogLevel to debug and find the error message "child.c(547): (OS 10038)An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket.  : winnt_accept: AcceptEx failed due to early client disconnect. Reallocate the accept socket and try again", over and over again in error.log
  i.. Disabled McAfee VirusScan during install of apache and before starting Apache, but doesn't help
  j.. If I put the wrong port number (say I do http://localhost:809) I immediately get, as expected, a server not found error
The one thing I do dread trying is removing McAfee, because if that doesn't help, re-installing it will be a major pain (plus, the removal may not fix any damage already done, based on some info I found on the net, about corrupted tcp/ip stack, plus, it was apparently fixed in apache version 2.0.44). 

Does anyone know the solution to this, or other things I can try to figure out the problem? I think perhaps there's something not setup right in "Internet Options", perhaps security levels or WINS? I don't know much about those so it's hard to know what to look for. Thanks for any info, 

Oliver

Hmm, not sure, do you mean in the httpd.conf file or in Windows Internet
Options? I saw on the apache httpd site that perhaps I should be using the
latest 1.3 branch.

I'm not too keen on Win32 Apache, but is there an option in there where
it tries to do reverse lookups of clients, or domain resolutions of
clients?  It's very difficult *cough* to do a resolution of 127.0.0.1 or
something like that... hunt for that option and turn it off, if such a
beast exists.

OK, after noticing on the apache web site that, even though apache2 is supposed to work on win2k, and many win2k users are successfully using it, that they say that apache 1.3 branch is the one specially for Windows, I uninstalled 2 and install 1.3.28 and bingo, not even one change to make to httpd.conf. So if anyone else ever sees the symptoms below, hopefully that will work for you too. Thanks for the replies, 
Oliver
