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!

Cant install simple tcp/ip or any network adapter.

Zones: TCP/IP, Network Cards & Adapters

Tags: Microsoft, WIndows XP Home, SP2, tcp/ip problem, Could not install the Simple TCP/IPServices component because a file or registry entry is missing, cant install any network adapter, show's yellow exclamation in device manager

I'm working on a computer that was dropping it's network connection multiple times a day, after rebooting the connection would come back. Looked in the Local area connection settings for the NIC and the properties button was grayed out for TCP/IP and the other protocols. Looked in the Control Panel under Add/Remove windows components and simple tcp/ip was not installed. Upon trying to install simple tcp/ip I get an error that says Could not install the Simple TCP/IPServices component because a file or registry entry is missing. I tried uninstalling the NIC drivers and upon trying to reinstall it says "There was a problem installing the hardware: Attansic L1 Gigabit 10/100/1000base-T Controller An error occured during the installation of the device The system cannot find the file specified. (no file is shown) I tried doing a repair installation of windows to no avail. I tried resetting the winsock. I can install other hardware, just not network adapters. I tried installing my USB NIC and it does the same things. I also tried the netsh int ip reset and that didn't help. So my TCP/IP is hosed and basically all my network capabilities. I uninstalled Norton thinking maybe something got corrupted and was causing a problem but that didn't help either. The system is clean and virus/spyware free. I don't want to do a fresh install, please help!
