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!

What is the best Network setup for a small business

Asked by waltermb in Windows Networking

I am setting up a small financial services business in my double garage and wonder if anyone could give me advice. I plan on having 8 employees
who need to share cable internet access and a email system. I get cable internet from comcast. Would you recommend i go with a wireless system
(several of the pcs already have wireless cards) or a hard wired system. I already have an smc broadband wireless router and just am concerned
that it can handle this load. I want to share a network printer I have(hp laserjet 8000). I am putting in a small telephone system so will be running
telephone wires-so i guess it is easy to run cat5 cable at the same time.. If i go wired---what router would you recommend-and are they available
to share internet. I only know enough to be dangerous--and the biggest network i have setup was only 3 users on the wireless side. Also it is very important
that the system stay up all the time--since we are financial advisors---do you feel i would be safer going with a T1 line to more assure
the net will be up more reliably. Lastly--would you dedicate one pc as a server-to act as a central point for this process--this part i know little
about. Most of our work and info is on the net. Thanks for any help you can give! Robert
