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! |

Asked by LR_Brian in TCP/IP, Windows 2003 Server, User Datagram Protocol (UDP), WINS, Networking Protocols
Hello,
We have recently began to experience a severe issue within our network. The issue happens very randomly (it could be as infrequent as once every 2 or 3 weeks, or it could be 2 weeks consecutively). The issue is that ALL network functionality on ALL machines (servers, workstations, IP phones, etc...) completely ceases for 5 - 7 minutes before the problem clears itself and network connectivity is restored. Please note, I can ping the loopback address, but no other addresses (DNS or the Default Gatway). I have done this on multiple machines to verify. Previously I noted that there were MRxSmb 8003 errors appearing on a secondary DC coming from our PDC so I disabled the Computer Browser service on all DC's and member servers (note that I did not modify the registries of any server). Unfortunately, there is nothing in the Event Viewer on any machine for the most recent issue that occured (7:30pm MST), except for a WINS error that it was unable to replicate during the issue.
There are 2 DC's and 8 Member Servers as well as 70 W2K clients and 70 XP Pro boxes. We are using a DLINK DFL 800 NetDefend firewall/VPN appliance.
This problem is driving me absolutely bonkers! Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you need any additional inforamtion.
