It was my suggestion, but somehow (probably my own fumblefingers) Sambar Web Server got translated into Samba... there is a distinct difference:
Samba (file sharing for Linux (and more?)) Sambar Web Server (provides HTTP, FTP, SMTP/POP3 services) is basically Apache with a web-based front end. It handles host headers, it'll even set up a "Watch Dog" app for you. I'm running in on Windows ME and there's no comments about XP.
