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!

bridging, wireless, can, network, transparent

Hello,

I'm setting up a wireless network I wish to have branched off a Cisco 2620 router (w/ 1 FastEth & 1 Eth) and wish to use transparent bridging for the wireless modems, for the hosts behind them to access the Internet. I have a class C (ie. 5.6.7.x/24) that I wish to use for hosts behind the wireless modems, and wish to use 10.40.x.x for the wireless modems over Eth1/0. FastEth0/0 is on another subnet (and physical network) which is connected to the Internet - i.e. 1.2.3.4. Right now from a wireless modem (10.40.1.1) I can ping 10.40.x.x without trouble.. But can't pass any data to anything on the 1.2.3.x network or anywhere past that... I need the 10.40.x.x network and hosts behind it that are bridged, to be able to use the Internet. Here's my (slightly adjusted) configuration, care to examine?

--config start--

 exec-timeout 0 0
line aux 0
 speed 38400
line vty 0 4

!
end

--config end--

Hmm... I'm not sure if I need the 'bridge' statements. Anyone?
