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!

What is wrong with my network configuration?

Asked by agentkolb in Miscellaneous Networking, Networking Hardware Firewalls, Network Routers

Tags: Firewall, IP address

We had a new static IP address issued to us from AT&T they gave us the range of:

Range: xxx.xxx.150.57 through xxx.xxx.150.61
Subnet: 255.255.255.248
Gateway IP: xxx.xxx.150.62

I put that into my netgear firewall and I am able to use the internet, etc. All of my ports are still forwarded to the correct IPs on my network and none of that has changed. When I check my IP address I see it as xxx.xxx.150.62 via whatismyip.com.

However when I try to ping my firewall which I set up with IP 150.57 from the outside world I get time outs. I can successfully ping the 150.62 address. The main problem I am having is my port 25 and 3389 traffic. If I try to telnet into the 150.57 port 25 I get no connection as well as I can't RDP into that IP address (3389). I get the same result on the Gateway IP as well. What am I doing wrong? What do I need to change to get back to being operational?

Thanks!
