That is correct, it's a flaw in Windows triggered by a change in apr, where Windows 2000 (and only 2000) will refuse to honor traditional methods of determining the remote client IP address/host once a connection is accepted using the Win32 AcceptEx() API call. The flaw in apr of presuming we don't have that host identification already is resolved for the next release of apr and httpd (2.2.5). > Are there additional reasons Win32DisableAcceptEx would be needed with > 2.2.4, but not needed with 2.2.3 in the same environment?
