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!

Win2K Workgroup not accessible

Asked by danfoster in Windows 2000 Operating System

Tags: workgroup, accessible

This should be easy.

I'm trying to connect two PCs using a simple peer-peer workgroup I call 'Home'.
Set the NetworkID on both the Win98 machine (Joe) and the Win2000 machine(Cuthbert) to refer to the workgroup Home.

When I try to access 'Computers Near Me' on Cuthbert,the Win2000 machine, I get the following error message:

"Home is not accessible. The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available."

I can navigate to the worgroup icon for Home under Microsoft Windows Network. Looks ready, but double-clicking the Home workgroup icon gives the same error message.

From Joe's Win98 Network Neighborhood, I can see computer icons for both Joe and Cuthbert, properly identified. I can open the Joe icon to view shared resources, but when I try to open the icon for Cuthbert, I get the following error message:

"\\Cuthbert is not accessible.
The computer or sharename could not be found. Make sure you typed it correctly, and try again."

NIC is properly configured and working.
Mini-hub is connected and showing traffic.

Connection is OK:
Client for Microsoft Networks
NetBEUI
File and Printer Sharing for Micorsoft Networks

Tired it with TCP/IP configured (including 'NetBIOS Over TCP/IP= enabled')
Tried it with TCP/IP uninstalled.

Have shared resources on both machines, Permissions set to Everyone.

Changed Network Identification on both machines, new workgroup name, double-checked connection configuration. Tried a second NIC. Shot an hour and half at Microsoft.com.
Stood on my head.

I'm non-plussed. Any ideas?
