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!

Static IP Thompson Speedtouch 585

Asked by NorthDorsetWeb in Xbox Video Game Console, Wireless Technologies

Tags: Thompson, Speedtouch, 585

I have been having problems with access to the Xbox Live - I can get on some days but its not consistent.

My NAT is open and I have opened the relevant ports for each game on the router.  The only thing I cannot seem to do it assign a static IP address.  I phoned my ISP (Demon) tonight and they have provided me with the IP address for my entire service but Im sure I shouldnt be assigning the Xbox to this.  They have advised that I cannot assign a static IP address on my router but that I have to upgrade my package to get an additional static IP address.  

Im sure that I can set up a static IP address on my router but I could be wrong.  if I can can, can someone provide me with instructions.  I think i know how to do this from the Xbox - i can adjust the settings to manual or automatic.  Currnelty it is on automatic and every time I go into the box I have to check that the device is being assigned to the correct IP address (whicheve it has chosen) on the router.  I was under the impression that I just need to select a unique number for the last digits of the IP address and then make sure that htey correspond to those on the server. When i did this the other night though i got an error message.  I cant remember it exactly now but it failed on network connections I think.

Anyway any advice will be greatly appreciated.

p.s. alhtough I have a wireless router - I have actually wired the box to the router now.
