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!

D-Link 704P router stops Windows Update

Asked by DexterEMC2 in Miscellaneous Networking, Wireless Network Cards & Adapters, File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

Tags: router, update, windows

I am unable to download any files from the Windows Update site on either my Win 98 or XP computers when going through my D-Link DI-704P router. Both computers are able to view web pages and download files from other sites and I was even able to open up two ports on the router to use a music/file sharing service. (the problem existed before I started sharing files)

I am able to view the Windows Update site and scan my computer for updates but when I try to download the updates it stops after like 5 seconds at no more than 140 KB and stays there. After I cancel the download attempt I have to close Windows Update from the list you see after hitting Ctrl, Alt, Delete and it seems to send the error report ok with my XP machine. When I bypassed the router I was able to download updates from the site just fine.

I have Ameritech DSL and use the SpeedStream 5360 “modem” to connect to the internet. The Windows 98 machine was the machine I first had the DSL connected to and I bought the router after I built the XP machine.  

Is there a specific port I can open up or some other setting in the router I can change to use Windows Update?
