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!

Stop XP workstations from trying to be MASTER BROWSER?

Asked by dvanaken in Windows 2003 Server, Miscellaneous Networking, Active Directory

Tags: , , ,

Recently I have experienced some workstations becoming master browsers.  This began after I put them behind a firewall to prevent their network traffic from broadcasting on the primary LAN subnet (they are developing network code).  I suspect that the firewall is blocking NetBios traffic in some form.  Anyway, I have tried changing the registry key from Auto to FALSE for MaintainServerList on one workstation as a test.  This stops the problem, but even though my WINS is running on two servers, browsing on those workstations becomes extremely slow - 10 secs to find the domain, another 10 to get the server list.  I know users will not like this since they are used to fast browsing (35 users).  Should I expect it to be this slow? Or is there some other config I need to check.  WINS looks fine - is running and registrations are correct.  BROWSTAT shows the PDC as MASTER and other servers as backups.  Oh - I also tried shutting down the browser service instead of the registry change with identical results.  Thanks --Dale
