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!

Some WiFi messes up my network when I return to office

Asked by BobSacks in Windows 95 - 98 Networking, Domain Name Service (DNS), Wireless Technologies

Tags: Wifi, DNS, Network

There are a couple of WiFi spots that ALWAYS screw up my computer when I return to the office.  Basically what happens is that I connect to the WiFi and all is well.   When I return to the office with the laptop and try to access ANY network resource, it tells me that it is inaccessible.  This includes printers, mapped network shares, other workstations, servers, etc.  I CAN access them by IP, but NOT by the mapped name or the fully qualified server path.  This has happened on my last TWO laptops, so it's not a hardware issue.   I can fix it by doing a System Restore, so I'm guessing something gets fouled up in the registry   The place it happens 100% of the time is our local hospital, which has limited public wifi (you are taken to a screen which makes you agree to a bunch of conditions - and they block a lot of stuff).   I contacted their IT folks and they politely told me that I was crazy, but it happens EVERY time.  I can connect to other WiFi without a problem.   This has happened to me on both Vista and XP machines.   I log into a domain at work and a workgroup at home.  Both home and work are messed up.  I've tried IPCONFIG "stuff", including flushing the DNS cache.   I'm stumped.  I can't find any evidence that anyone else has this problem.   Anyone have any suggestions?
