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!

Server no longer can connect to Internet.

Asked by jamesreddy in Windows 2003 Server

Ok...this is wierd.  Last week everything is great.  I have three 2003 servers, 3 2000 servers.  One of my 2K3 servers is a domain controller and DNS server, one is my Symantec Ghost Server, and one is a member server/file server.  Of my 2000 servers, one of them is also a domain controller.

Ok...so...like I said, last week, everything is cool.  This week, I can no longer connect to anything not on the local network.  But here is the wierd part....the problem is only affecting my 2003 servers.  They cannot connect to the Internet anymore, my Symantec Server cannot connect to the LiveUpdate server anymore, and any attempt to connect to any address outside the network fails.

Internet Explorer yields the message "search page cannot be found.".  Symantec tells me it is unable to connect to the update server.

Now...another wired detail.  One of the 2K3 server is also an IIS server hosting our Intranet and Helpdesk sites.  Both of those worj from inside and outside the company.  So, traffic is allowed in, just nothing allowed out.


No other server or workstation on the network has any symptoms except the 2003 server, and they were fine last week.  What's going on?  Was there some freak virus or update that would stop this?

I've already tried setting Internet security to nothing, and it had no effect.  This is wierd.  It just started this week.
