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!

VERY Strange Windows VPN Problem

Asked by vtgtn in Virtual Private Networking (VPN), SBS Small Business Server

Tags: vpn, windows

I have a VERY strange VPN issue I have been working on for weeks with no resolution.  I will describe what I know to be true and hopefully someone will have suggestions.

- Windows Small Biz Server 2003
- Running Routing and Remote Access for VPN connectivity
- Client computers running Windows XP Pro
- Connecting to VPN using Microsoft client connection

This VPN works solidly for several users from several locations.  Can browse and open files with no problem.  I have one particular user who is having the issue I cannot resolve.  He is using an HP laptop with XP Pro.  He can connect to and use the VPN from home (DSL) with no problem.  However, when he goes to an offsite job location is where he has problems.  Here are the facts about the problem:

- Job location running DSL
- Laptop can connect to VPN but CANNOT open files; can browse folders but times out when trying to open files then VPN eventually disconnects
- The frustrating part is that this laptop can connect to OTHER VPN's from this location and open files with no problem; it only has problems with that one certain VPN
- Basically it hangs up at a certain point in data transfer and stops

ANY suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  I can provide more info if necessary.
