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!

Win ME - Need to extend name resolution timeout

Asked by gamarsh in DSL Lines / Cable Internet

Tags: dns, timeout, find, resolution

Hello - my first post here!

Have been racking my brains over this issue for long time. Relates to sharing broadband internet connection via a broadband router. I remember I had the exact same issue when a dial-up sharing device was in use, several years ago.

The broadband router is configured to dial-out on demand. So, what I want to happen is, when a client computer requests and internet resource (e.g. web page) and the connection status is currently disconnected, then the connection process will be triggered. As far as the client PC is concerned, the client PC is on the LAN since it is plugged into one of the router's LAN ports.

The connect-on-demand process works as designed - except, of course, the connection process takes time - 20 seconds or so. It seems that this is JUST SLIGHTLY in excess of what Windows allows as the maximum timeout before producing a "Cannot find server or DNS error".

Obviously, what I need is for Windows to WAIT just a LITTLE BIT LONGER before timing out the request.

Having scoured the internet, I am starting to feel that the timout settings I require are actually HARD-CODED into the MS TCPIP stack. All the registry settings I checked out with respect to the MS TCP stack don't appear to make any difference. Using Windows ME. I remember this happening on Win98 also. Not sure if it also happens on 2K/XP.

Hopefully the experts here can shed some light. Many thanks for any advice.
