+<p>If you will install Apache on Windows 95, stop. First you need to

+<p><strong>Warning:</strong> You must have WinSock2 TCP/IP networking
+ correctly installed, configured and running in order to install Apache on
+ Windows. If you use dial-up networking exclusively, you may need to be

+<h2><a name="xpbug">Windows XP Apache Users Read This First</a></h2>
+
+<p>If you will install Apache on Windows XP, be warned. There is a known bug
+ our users have identified; you may or may not encounter it yourself. It
+ will be fixed in the forthcoming Apache 1.3.24 release. The effects of
+ this bug within Apache 2.0 Beta are not yet determined.</p>
+
+<p>It appears the combination of duplicating file handles between and parent
+ and child process, in conjunction with blocking sends to the http client,
+ may result in corrupted output. You may not see this in MSIE, which tends
+ to throw any error in the 'Cannot find server or DNS Error' category.</p>
+
+<p>If you receive such errors on Windows XP using SSI scripting or PHP scripts,
+ but not static pages, you are probably a victim of this bug. It has been
+ reported to Microsoft, we have no further details at this time.</p>
