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!

IP address conflict

Asked by tamid in DSL Lines / Cable Internet

Tags: ip, address, conflict

I have 2 systems networked (1-Win2k, 1-WinXP) using the Linksys phone line connection.  The Win2k system has a cable modem plugged into the USB port.  I have internet connection sharing turned on for the modem.  I've had this setup for over 2 years.  My ISP is Comcast.  All of a sudden I'm getting a bunch of windows - system errors stating the system has detected an IP address conflict with another system on the network and to check the system event log. When I check the system event log it states the system detected an address conflict for IP address 68.86.108.29 with the system having network hardware address 00:01:5C:22:0D:42. When I run IPCONFIG at a command prompt, it shows address 68.86.108.29 is for my cable modem.  I've talked with tech support at Comcast, and they state it appears to be a network problem.  I don't see how it is a network problem as my 2 systems use the IP address 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2.  Comcast eventually told me to shutdown my system and unplug the modem and when I turned the modem back on it would obtain a new IP address.  I did as instructed.   However, when I plugged the modem back in, it obtained the same IP address.  I've tried releasing it and renewing it using IPCONFIG, but keep getting the same address.  Does anyone have any ideas as to why I'm having this problem and how to correct it?  The problems started on Sunday, 7/6.  Between when the problem started and 11:00 pm Monday, 7/7, I had the same error 215 times in the event viewer's system log.  The problem seems to have slowed down, but I do still have the same error today.

Thanks in advance for your help!
