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!

Losing internet connection because of Zone Alarm???

Asked by colinspurs in Consumer Firewalls, Internet Security

Hi experts.

A friend of mine is losing his internet connection intermittently. The ISP is Talktalk. The wireless router is Belkin. Belkin are blaming the Zone Alarm security suite. Belkin says it has its own inherent firewall so ZA is superfluous.

I am suspicious of this answer, and I wish to disprove the theory. Is there a safe free alternative to running ZA for a period of time to see if the internet connection again becomes stable?

I will be in touch with ZA support to see if they have an opinion. Perhaps rducing the ZA firewall setting to Medium will do the trick.

I will be talking to my friend this evening (in about 6 hours from the time of this question).

If anyone has any ideas I would be grateful.

Thanks.
