XP is NT, just NT 5.1 rather than NT 4.0 or NT 3.51 that we all know and
love. :-/  I wouldn't get too concerned with the terminology either.  The
article admits that there's no hard and fast settings here to help resolve
the problem so understanding more about the specifics isn't necessarily
going to make it clearer how to set these values. ;-)  It's worth some
experimenting.  Or just follow Chris's advice as a first cut.  It may be
all that's necessary. :-)
