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!

FTP Madness! (Can't read from control socket. Socket error = #10054)

Asked by sconnell in FTP Software, FTP Servers, Network Routers

Tags: ftp, socket error, 10054, vista, linksys

I'm not usually stumped over communication issues... but this one is truly baffling, hence the high point value.

I am having a great deal of difficulty establishing a FTP connection with ANY of the several sites I work with. The problem is not consistent as I do establish a successful connection about 10% of the time (which makes this more baffling IMO).

Every time I attempt a FTP connection, I do successfully log in however, 90% of the time I immediately disconnect with a socket error 10054.

I'm using two programs, namely CUTEFTP PRO 8.3 and Firefox's FireFTP.

Sample result log from CuteFTP (in code window)

FireFTP is a bit better, it occasionally connects and allows data to be xfered... but it mostly just states, "Will attempt reconnect in 10 seconds".

This problem is occurring on my Vista 64 computer but I should also point out that I see the same problem on my XP computer.

This lead me to think it is my Linksys router, however, even placing my computer in a DMZ zone didn't solve the problem!

BTW, this problem is new, I never had this trouble about 8 months ago.

Can I buy a clue?
