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!

Second IP address on single NIC will not work.

Asked by Spelurker in TCP/IP, Windows 95 - 98 Networking, Network Cards & Adapters

Tags: ,

I'm trying to make some second IP address work on a network. I've added the IP addresses of 10.42.7.5 and 10.42.7.6 on a couple of machines by using the advanced tab on the TCP/IP properties of the network connection in windows. However when I try to ping from one to the other it doesn't work. I've included the "ipconfig /all" and "ping" results from one of the machines. The wierd thing is that when I try to ping one of these new addresses, I get a reply on the first try followed by three "Request timed out." (please see attached code snippet).
Subsequent ping attempts will result in 100% loss, but if I try again after awhile or after a restart, then I get the 75% loss all over again followed by 100% loss on subsequent tries.
Any help would be appreciated.Start Free Trial
