Well, as previously mentioned I had planned to install a few server OSes on the windows 2003 server and the linux box. Well, thanks to a variety of work related issues I havent managed to do that yet. However I did try to manually instal apache on the Windows XP box.

I say try.

For some insane reason the installation was beset with problems. This is something which, on Linux, is easier than picking your nose. On my windows XP machine it was harder than putting a man on Mars. The insanity that comprises our SOHO network continues unabated.

I think the ideal solution will be to reformat every PC and do complete re-installs of everything. Makes you want to cry really….
