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.

Cable Internet Sharing

Asked by kumarz in Broadband Internet

Tags: internet

I would like to share a cable internet connection between 2 - 4 users. I was wondering which is a better option, a router or a hub?

I'm not really looking for firewall or other advance features. All I need is a basic internet sharing solution.

My friend told me that if i use a hub, i need to have one my computer on all the time in order to let others access the net. Is that true?

My friends and I are staying in our university campus and in different rooms. The hub or router would be in one of the rooms and the rest of us will not have access to the hub or router unless the person is around.

So wat i need is a hub or router that let all 4 of us to share the connection without having any computers switched on except the current user's one..

In short, I need to use only the hub or router and nothing else and any of my friends shld be able to connect to the net anytime.

Which one is better taking the price into consideration?
