It would help if you gave us the exact error message.  Sometimes a few
hundred more eyes can find things that you missed.

<error_log>

Note - I have left out swathes of shutting down and resuming where I 

tried different things as explained originally

When you say "made no difference", I'm assuming that the problem is
that you get no prompt for authentication and are given the file

directly? 

True

 And this is true even trying from a different computer (to

eliminate possible caching problems)?

192.168.0.22 is my desktop WinXP
192.168.0.38 is my laptop WinXP

Try putting "Deny from all" in that directory block to see if that has

an effect.  

Nothing apparent.

If it doesn't, you are most likely either

1) using the wrong directory;

Definitely OK

2) looking at the wrong config file;

Not sure about that. I'm gunna strip things back and try to start from 

scratch.

or 3) not reaching the server from the client because of some caching 

issue.

Defintely not caching

Thanks
