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!

Failing to PING a named PC on the Peer-to-Peer network...

Asked by rubiconx in Peer to Peer, Windows XP Operating System, Domain Name Service (DNS)

Tags: , , ,

I'm not sure how best to word this as I really don't understand what is happening.  In essence, a program that used to be able to talk to another PC in the LAN is failing.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it always fails.  The error I receive refers to RPC failure.  When trying to PING the 'server' PC, the client fails to resolve the PC name, and instead starts pinging the router.  The 'server' PC however can successfully ping the client via it's name.  I.e. The server is known as utgp and the client as utgp2.  If i type ping utgp2 on the server it successfully pings 192.168.2.64.  If I type ping utgp on the client it resolves utgp.BELKIN and pings the routers WAN address.

There are no PC firewalls running, although there is one on the router.

One other clue...this worked a few days ago and the router broke.  The error mentioned above started with the new router.  I have tried a third router and that didn't help.  The subnet of the first router was 192.168.0.* and the second one was 192.168.2.*.  Don't know if this helps any!

Can anyone suggest what might be happening?  Or maybe just ask a few intelligent questions that might help others to understand what is happening.

I'd really like to resolve thois one as the customer is getting somewhat irate!
