cooper Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Maybe describe what you did that led up to you receiving this? I'm guessing there's a 'generic' networking issue that's preventing Ping from sending out packets. Maybe the box is configured to not be allowed to send out ICMP packets from non-admin accounts?

badbass Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 This is from an admin acct and non admin acct. I will verify windows firewall is not conflicting with something else. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badbass Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 I put in a new router and the problem vanished. I even got a customer out of it go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sud0nick Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Even though you already solved your problem I'll throw my two cents in. In my experience, whenever I've received a General Failure it's been because something was wrong with my configs on the system. Some examples are duplicate IP address when using static IPs and an issue with the TCP/IP stack on the system. Normally a reset on the TCP/IP stack or pulling my head out of my backside fixes the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
