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!

MSN Messenger Error.

Asked by DrWarezz in Miscellaneous Networking

Hi guys,

Okay, before I get started, here's my machine/network details:
-I'm on a LAN, we share the connection, and I'm NOT the ICS host. (Ethernet: 10/100mbps)
-At the MOMENT, we've turned off all firewalls (except the XP firewall, which is on the ICS Host machine).
-3 clients on the LAN, connected by a hub. Currently though, only two clients are connected and using the LAN (one of which is mine).
-The internet connection: 56K dial-up (ISP: NTL).  (broadband isn't offered in our area! :( ).
-The ICS host can use the internet fine, with NO problems at all. (Unlike myself).
-All machines are WinXP home ed.  My machine previously had SP2 installed, but I found that it was causing FAR too many problems, so I uninstalled it, via 'Add/Remove Programs'... Perhaps this is related?
-I also USED to have Mozilla installed. Which I blamed for some of these problems, and thus uninstalled it also.

Here's one of many problems I'm having at the moment:

I cannot sign into MSN Messenger, whereas, my brother (the ICS host) can!
When I attempt to log in, it starts trying to log in for a little while, then I get an error message, saying:

"The was a problem connecting you to MSN Messenger. Click Troubleshoot for help with this problem.
Error Code: 0x81000365"

I often get this, HOWEVER, every now and then it signs in fine, despite me not doing ANYTHING different (to my knowledge).

So, what's going on here?
I'm about to post another question about an internet problem I'm having, which is probably linked to this. So, I will post the link to that Q here so that you can evaluate that also, if you'd like :)

Thank you in advance all!
