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!

Outlook can't establish a network connection but sends OK

Asked by magarity in Outlook Groupware Software

Tags: , , ,

Upon upgrading to OfficeXP from Office2000, Outlook picked up mail from the ISP's server the first time it was run.  Since then, no new messages arrive but outgoing leave just fine.  Using the 'test account settings' in the 'email accounts' section, I found that Outlook complains 'unable to establish network connection'.  However, Internet Explorer browses the internet just fine.  The ping command returns a proper response from the ISP's pop server.  The settings for the mail server were inherited from the upgraded version of Outlook and check against another computer in the same office.  So why is one Outlook unable to establish a network connection to get mail when it sends just fine and the other four computers can do both?  The settings are all the same!  I even tried a spare network adapter and it still doesn't work, also tried removing from and rejoining the domain just for fun.

In case it's relevant, the PC in question runs XP Pro and the domain is Win2000.  The mail comes from a POP/SMTP server at the ISP; there is no local server intercepting the mail.  All XP and OfficeXP service packs and patches have been applied.  This was third of four PCs upgraded from Win2k/Office2k in the exact same manner; all the others worked perfectly.

This is the executive director's computer and he wants his incoming mails ASAP.  I will respond to any suggestions and followup questions within minutes.Start Free Trial
