Does 127.0.0.1 show "Welcome to Xitami" or "MS PWS" ? (Microsoft
Personal Web Service)

Windows machines often pick-up PWS, MS's cut-down version of their
flagship IIS web service. It is in the box on several versions of
Windows, can be downloaded free, and some of their web-tools (like I
think Front Page) install it even if you don't ask for it.

If so, the next question is how to kill PWS. It isn't easy. I forget
what I did years ago-- for other reasons I may have been doing a
re-format anyway. I hope someone jumps-in with an easier approach.
Does the Add/Remove programs really yank all trace of PWS?
