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!

XP thinks it's online, but it can't reach anything.  ISP tech says it's MB, and that's BRAND NEW.

Asked by tomsparks1951 in DSL Lines / Cable Internet

Tags: 5200, capacitors, connections

I have just intstalled a new MB, courtesy of Jetway P4XFCP, due to leaking & bulging capacitors on the old board.  I spent all evening online with the ISP's tech, trying to get online, and nothing works.  At different points the computer seems to have part of its systems convinced that it's online, but other areas say that it's not - no actual connections have appeared.

I'm using a Speedstream 5200 that acts (via flashes) that it's just fine.  I had an earlier problem with my D-Link Dl-604 Residential Gateway local network router - think it needs an adapter or something - so I'm just using the enet connection for one computer and the USB connection for the other on the Speedstream.  I've tested the connections and the cables; the "standing" computer goes online with each with no problem.  Neither one works with the ports on the new motherboard in the system under construction, though.

The lights, on both the computer AND on the Speedstream, come on with both computers, confirming full connections.  When I had the tech online he confirmed that the line was good to the Speedstream and it chatted just fine with his system.  The only thing not working is the new computer's connection.  This is the same connection in which I used it several months ago.  My plan is to get the machine online so that it can upgrade, etc., then I'll worry about networking the two.

ALERT:  Bear in mind, please, that I'm handicapped.  I'm slow, weak and often need help to run tests/reassemble things here.

These are 500 point questions because I know a good deal about what we're talking about.  When I have to ask an expert, he needs to know more than the average bear.
