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!

Can't get online

Asked by Martin1952 in Apple Networking, Snow Leopard (OS 10.6), Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard)

I was setting up Skype on my wife's MacBook so we could keep in touch while I'm away. We were testing it between 2 rooms in our house. After about 10 minutes my laptop lost the home wifi connection as sometimes happens. It picked it up again in a couple of minutes. Since this event I can't get online on the MacBook but my own laptop gets online as usual.

This seems very weird because my wife's first MacBook connected to the home wifi instantly from new 3 years ago. We had to replace it recently due to one of my kids spilling water on it. This new MacBook connected to the home wifi instantly as well, only requiring the password as before.,

I have 18 years experience with PC's but I don't know much about Macs. The home wifi signal is showing full strength on the MacBook, I've tried the diagnostics. It just won't go online. When I try the diagnostics it tells me the network configuration has changed, but I don't think I've changed anything. It keeps asking for the password and won't remember it even though I check the remember box. When it asks if I use DSL to connect to the internet I select YES as that is what the wireless router is. It then tells me to restart and then click continue after it has restarted. When it has restarted nothing comes up to press continue. So I try the process again but I'm just in a loop because no continue appears. What should I try next please?
