I run two different TCP/IP configs, one for using the internet, and 
the other to run the Mac as a server for a networked PC. I have had 
problems if I try to start QPQ in the wrong config (accidentally =) 
). Using the wrong settings kills QPQ, and once it has died it seems 
to corrupt the preferences, so I have to reconfigure it from scratch. 
I have even had to reinstall it to get it working again.

Not life threatening, but extremely annoying if we are up against a deadline!

 From my previous experience of PWS, it doesn't run SSI's and I never 
got it to run CGI's as I recall. I'll have to give it another try.
