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!

Windows socket error 10061 no connection, target machine actively refused it on API connect

Asked by newmoonherbs in Databases Miscellaneous

Tags: error, 10061, socket, windows

I have a number of programs that will not connect to the internet. I have a new computer running Win2K Pro, no firewall and a dial-up internet connection. My filesharing programs, Kazaalite (was  connecting for a month or 2), Emule (says Ifc disabled), Shareaza and Tesla (WinMX is the only one still connecting) as well as a few others, like Local Port Scanner (gives me the socket error message) and Bigfix that simply won't connect at any time as well as Powerdesk and a few others, relatively less important. I'm using Norton Antivirus, Adaware, Spyware Blaster, Spybot S&D and Ghostsurf, although this connection problem started before I was using Ghostsurf. I have done some registry edits (creating a back-up copy first) based on bugs found by Pestpatrol on-line scan (not being able to purchase the software at this time, following their instructions about regedits and not touching anything to do with my p2p programs, that I'm aware of). Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated. I'm no tech wiz by any means but am more experienced than the average computer user I've encountered. I'm about to start pulling my hair over this. What can I do to correct this problem as it's been going on for a couple of months? I'm thinking of doing a repair/overwrite of my OS but not sure if that will fix the problem. Also thinking of upgrading to Win XP Pro (also, might that fix the problem?). Thanks.
