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!

I have recently setup a SBS 2003 R2 w/o ISA server for my small business and to handle family email.  The only issue I am running into is I cannot get my PS3 to connect to the internet.  The PS3 was able to connect to the internet prior to the SBS installation, so I know the jnic works.

I have tried the following.

1) Set the PS3 nic as auto config - PS3 nic does not get a IP from the SBS 2003 DHCP server.
2) Set the PS3 nis as manual - manually assined the IP to a excluded IP on the SBS DHCP server, default gateway is the SBS server, DNS1 is the SBS server and DNS2 is the Cable Companies DNS.  I have also read on found some ports to open.  So I open the ports in Routing and Remote Access.  I am not sure if I have all the correct ports open.  Also I configured my laptop IP indentical to solution 2 and my laptop had no problems accessing the internet.

The main thing that perplexes me is Why is the SBS server not issueing a IP to the PS3 automatically, when configured for option1.

Also, I am not sure I am "opening" the ports correctly.  I have open port for other programs using the Routing and Remote Access but I am not sure if this is the correct way or the most efficient.  

So, I hope jyou experts can help me out on this one.
