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!

Mulit-Homed sites in IIS and XP Pro

Asked by beregoth in Microsoft IIS Web Server

Tags: iis, pro, xp, homed, sites

Is there a way using XP and IIS (the version released with XP Pro) to create a multi-homed environment?  Or a software package that helps use do it?  As a web developer using a laptop and who travels alot and works on several sites simultaneously, what I'm simply trying to accomplish is being able to "overlook" localhost/subdir and treat each site I'm working on as if I'm actually working on that sites development server.  What would be the ideal scenario would be to be able to point to "dev.workingsite.com" that would actually serve a root directory of localhost/workingsite.  Otherwise, each site I work on has to have "special" code that checks to see if it is in a sub-directory rather than at the root then prepend certain variable to directory pointers to accomodate that.  I sucks and rather than having a server OS installed, I'd really like to work with what I have available or purchase some software that "fools" my system into thinking it can support multiple home or DNS pointers.

Anyway, I'm no sys-admin so I'm hoping I'm explaining my need well enough.  Thanks in advance for any advice.  I've set this question at a moderate difficulty level despite the fact that for me it is obviously substantially more difficult in hopes there is some guru out there that has some great solution.
