Ping error transmit failed general failure

[ron]

Pinging Google resulted in transmit failed, general failure. See the quote below.

C:\Users\Dell>ping google.com

Pinging google.com [2404:6800:4007:81a::200e] with 32 bytes of data:
PING: transmit failed. General failure.
PING: transmit failed. General failure.
PING: transmit failed. General failure.
PING: transmit failed. General failure.

Ping statistics for 127.0.0.21:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss)

I copied it from the DOS window. How to troubleshoot it?

I don't know if that will be helpful or not, but if the problem arises in a wireless connection, it could be because of the WAP Pre-Shared Key, someone might have changed it and may have forgotten to update you that he has done it, so, just updating the Pre-Shared Key would do the trick.

Thanks

I tried installing Jetico Firewall 2 but totally hung my Windows 11. A system restore saved the OS, but the DNS issue for browsing disconnected me from the Internet world. Plus, a ping to 127.0.0.1 was not working. The New wireless device didn't help either. I am still looking for a solution.

Just when we changed the old router, none of our Windows 11 machines could access the network.

I had the same problem on my PC. Uninstalled the AntiVirus software, and it fixed the issue.

Turn off the Microsoft Defender Firewall on your computer and reboot it. It may fix the problem.

Pinging Google resulted in transmit failed, general failure.

Hello ron, I also experienced a ping transmit failed general failure message while pinging google on my Windows computer. I resolved the problem using the following steps.

I executed the following commands on the Windows Command Prompt (ran the Command Prompt as administrator).
netsh int ip reset c:\tcp.txt

ipconfig /flushdns

netsh winsock reset

After executing them, I rebooted the computer and modem.


I recommend you follow this guide and let me know the result.
