XP SP2 & Apache virtual hosts

[Philippo]

SP2 doesn't seem to like Apache.
All my IP-based Virtualhosts in Apache (2.0.50-win32) won't work any
more since the Windows XP SP2 update.

In c:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts I'm mapping my local IP
addresses of the 127.0.0.x range to the host names, e.g.:

127.0.0.2 projects
127.0.0.3 test


Calling http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1 works just fine and it
accesses Apache's documentroot. If I'm trying to access a virtualhost,
e.g. http://projects, it won't work at all. IE won't find that URL.
I've tried it also on Mozilla & Firefox, same thing.
The IP addresses are getting resolved correctly if I ping the host
names.
Turning off the new firewall completely won't help. Also, I put
"C:\Apache2\bin\Apache.exe" into the firewall exceptions with scope
"any computer".

thanks a lot for your help!

Seems it is a bug in tcpip.sys driver, and Microsoft is releasing a
fix.
