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!

Ping request cannot find host, nslookup works but ping will not resolve fqdn

Have a small network with all clients running windows xp.  For some reason I can't access the internet from  one of the clients.  Others are working fine.  Network consists of wired ethernet, behind a netgear firewall/router connected to a cable modem.  Netgear router functions as DHCP server.  ipconfig returns same information on each client (i.e. defualt gateway, DHCP Server, DNS server all point to IP of router).

On problem machine:

Can ping internally with IP address, ping routers internal and external ip, can ping external ip - but can't ping using host name (i.e. can ping 72.14.207.99 but not www.google.com).

nslookup will resolve with either IP or host name

I have reset all the hardware, used ipconfig (release, renew, flushdns), disabled/enabled NIC.

Not sure what to try next any suggestions would be appreciated.
