VII. HTTP Server Setup
An alternative to deploy your media files is to use an HTTP server setup, which may increase transfer
rates by up to 30%. In order to do this, you need to setup your PC as an HTTP server so that it can
become a content server that transfers media files to client devices. Your must use Windows XP
Professional due to lack of IIS (Internet Information Services) support on Home edition. (Note: You can
download freeware http server software from http://httpd.apache.org/ and use it instead of IIS)
