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.

The error I receive is the notorious:

An Error occurred while sending a message to L6968

Server - Windows Server 2003 standard (updated with all critical updates) I've tried to send from 4 different servers including my Exchange sever, a print server, Domain Controller and a Virtual Server all 2003

Client Windows XP or Vista (current on updates) I've attempted both
Yes - messenger and alert services and running, set to automatic on both client and server (And yes I stopped and restarted just to be safe)
No firewall is enabled on client, No ports blocked internally.
The client computer name is listed in Net View
Does not work with computer name, user name, full computer name (including domain) OR IP Address but I can ping the computer using the computer name.

There are no group policies limiting messaging.

Anyone have any ideas??
