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!

The specified network name is no longer available

Asked by facedown98 in Windows Networking, File Servers, Windows XP Operating System

Tags: Networking, virtual machines

Hello Experts,

I currently have a simple home network in use. I have an assorted number of Virtual Machines on the host PC. For some reason I experience the error message "The specified network name is no longer available." My Host PC has a shared folder setup without any restrictions. Anyone can view/change the files within this shared folder. My physical PCs in the house are just fine. The virtual machines however receive that error message when attempting to download files from the shared folder. Smaller files that are one or two MB seem to download just fine --- anything larger prompts that error. This happens on all virtual machines and makes no difference if static IP addresses are setup or not.

I also use ZoneAlarm as a firewall. I have added one of my virtual machines (which has a static IP assigned) to the trusted list. The virtual PC does not have a firewall active (I disabled the Windows firewall).

The software being used for the virtual PCs is VMware Workstation 6.0.4

All PCs are Windows XP Professional SP3 however two of the physical PCs without any problems run XP Home SP3.

The funny thing is that they can see the files but can't download anything significant.

Please help if you can! Thanks!
