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!

Have to disable/Enable network connections on Win2K machines

Asked by RadRichie in Windows NT Networking

Tags: connections, disable, enable

I have a Win2K Pro machine connected to a Win2K Server.  I was playing with the server a bit, and now it seems I have to go through the following procedure to connect to the server:

- Disable the client network connection
- Disable the server network connection
- Enable the server network connection
- Enable the client network connection

Both network cards are 3com 3c905s with the same driver being used on both machines.  The server has one static IP NIC (169.254.0.1) and 2 other NICs installed.  DHCP is supplying those with dynamic addresses. The client address is dynamice as well (I've tried statics with no effect).  The two settings are as follows:

Client

IP            169.254.0.xx (dynamic)
Subnet Mask   255.255.0.0
DNS Server    169.254.0.1


Server

IP            169.254.0.1
Subnet Mask   255.255.0.0
DNS Server    169.254.0.1

I can start the server, wait 15 minutes, then start the client with the same symptom.  The only other interesting symptom is that ROTE PRINT on the server shows two 169.254.0.0 entries pointing to two different gateways... one the static IP NIC, and another one of the dynamic IPS (which by the way DHCP shows in its server title...why I don't know... not a DHCP expert here).
NO DNS or DHCP errors in the event log.

Help me to not have to perform that procedure of disable/enable on the client and server please!
