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!

Cached Exchange Mode & Internet Radio

Asked by tigermatt in User Datagram Protocol (UDP), Outlook Groupware Software, Network Switches & Hubs

Tags: , , , , , , ,

Just a quick question for networking guys.

Outlook's Cached Exchange Mode feature is useful because it means Outlook only goes to the Exchange Server on set intervals to download mail. I usually have it switched off so there isn't a delay of a few minutes in mail arriving at Exchange and showing up on my desk, but it seems to be crashing my Internet radio. Having Cached Exchange Mode disabled means Exchange uses UDP packets to communicate with Outlook presumably several times a second. Could these continuous inbound UDP packets (no mail being delivered though) really be the problem which causes my Internet radio to jump, lose half its bitrate etc. every few minutes?

Now that I have disabled Cached Exchange Mode and restarted Outlook the radio isn't crashing any longer, but I can't believe a few inbound packets could cause this.

It's not my Internet connection - it works fine with Outlook shut down, and I'm not really doing much but EE, the odd bit of web browsing or I might not be using the connection for anything else at all. I'm the only person on the network and there are only two switches between me and the router. I've also already turned off all the clever features in Windows Media Player and increased buffering up to about 60 seconds of content buffered I believe, but it still does it when Cached Mode is disabled.
