The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

How Does PING work

Asked by jskfan in Apple Networking

When you have a host file or DNS, and you use PING command to ping a machine that is onlthe network or off the network, how does the communication circuit work in either case.?
for example when you ping a remote machine which is powerd off , and you have that machine hostname and IP in the DNS or in the host file, would your computer look for the record first or until it receives something from the remote machine then it looks for the record in the DNS or host file?

do you understand what I mean? I need kind of explanation about the whole process of PING command.

Thanks
