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!

WinXP randomly drops network connection

Asked by hopperp in Windows XP Operating System

Tags: connection, drops, network, randomly, switch

I have Windows XP Pro and use it to host a personal email account and images and the like when I post to message boards, etc., and I'll occasionally remote connect from work to email myself a file or something.  Nothing all that major, but I've got enough going on that I tend to know, even while I'm away from home, when my computer goes down.

Well, my computer recently began losing awareness of its network connection during the day while I'm at work.  When I come home, something as simple as checking the "Show icon in notification area when connected" option under the properties page for my network connection will wake up the connection and I'm up and running again.

The only recent change I've made is that I added another user account and the two of us will use the "switch" method to go between our own private desktops.  Other than that, nothing has changed in over a month, possibly longer.  So, even though everything appears to work fine even when I'm not the one logged in, I'm inclined to think this new setup is somehow the culprit, but I can't figure out why or what I should change to fix it.  Does anyone have any ideas?  Has anyone ever seen this or similar behavior before?

I don't expect this to be a difficult question to answer for someone for someone in the know, but I'm starting the points off at 250 because I'm anxious to get this resolved.
