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!

PIX Firewall / Network Address Translation

Asked by Javin007 in Miscellaneous Networking, Networking Hardware Firewalls, Domain Name Service (DNS)

Tags: pix, address, translation, firewall

Got a problem, and I've no clue where to start. (Unfortunately, I'm not the one who gets to make decisions here, they just want me to fix what they break.)

We've got a new Cisco PIX Firewall installed, and it's supposed to be handling our Network Address Translation. (NAT.)  However, it was configured to do Port Address Translation (PAT) on the IP of the PIX's interface.  After awhile, my users would complain to me that they would often try to go to  a website and have to hit "refresh" a number of times before their sites would come up.  I was under the ASSUMPTION that this was because the PAT was running out of ports for all of the users.  We have an address pool ranging from x.x.x.146 (the PIX) to x.x.x.155, with .147 being our mail server.  So I switched the settings on the PIX to do a "Range" from .148 to .155.  This seems to have only caused MORE trouble.  

Anyone have any suggestions?
