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!

Port 80 seems to be blocked

Asked by dkreines in Internet Protocols, Web Browsers, Networking Protocols

Tags: IE HTTP Internet Explorer

I have a vert strange problem and I am hoping somebody can shed some light.  Here is the situation:
1) I can no longer use IE or FireFox to view any URL that uses the http: . Right now I am using an old machine (on the same router, BTW) that I still have - not the laptop where the problem is.
2) I can ping sites such as www.google.com, www.yahoo.com, etc. by name, so DNS seems OK
3) I can use IE and FireFox to view URLs that use FTP, e,g, such as ftp://releases.mozilla.org.
4) I can also access sites uisng HTTPS:, so the SSL port is OK.
5) All this started about 24 hours ago when I was surfing 'strange and wondorous videos' from gosh knows where - fairly ordinary stuff. Yep, the last site wanted to install some type of software, a viewer i think, and I think I clicked to appropriate 'no don't you dare' button, but...
6) Get HTTP: error 12029 when run the diagnostics offered via IE; they confirm that i cannot connect to http: , but can to FTP:// and HTTPS:// .
7) I have tried disabling the Windows Firewall - no luck.
8) I have been looking over the list of 'processes' looking for something fishy running, but have not yet found anything - NOT that I woud necessarily have noticed it.
9. I have another machine on the same router and it is fine, so I don't think the router is blocking port 80

I'm out of ideas.  Help??
