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!

 I have connected two computers using a crossover ethernet cable, but have not been able to get them to "see" eachother.

 Both computers are running with default network identities ("Computer" and "Workgroup"). Also, I am not using a user password (for Admin) when logging on to either computer at bootup, if this makes any difference (i.e. no Admin password when OSes installed).

 Technical Details:
- The LAN connection itself seems to be working per Network and Dialup Connections/Local Area Connection. There is a 100 Mbps speed with a few packets being sent and received.
- I can see a "Netware or Compatibe Network" icon via My Network Places/Entire Network/entire contents, but when I
double-click it , I get: "Unable to browse the network The network path was not found." When I right-click it to check for properties I get: "The properties for this item are not available."
- LAN setup currently as follows (more details if required):
Client: Client Service for Netware
Service (?): NWLink NetBIOS
Protocols: NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Compatible Transport Protocol
               Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)



 To start with, do the Network ID and/or login details need to be modified?
