    General Failure on ping 127.0.0.1 or dedicated IP


    Hello!


    I have a big problem with reaching one of computers within home LAN.

    I am not sure if it is because of last 20H2 update, but there are no problems on my Server WS 2016 or other PC stations, so I assume it is also not group policy.


    Problem:

    C:\WINDOWS\system32>ping 127.0.0.1

    Pinging 127.0.0.1 with 32 bytes of data:
    General failure.
    General failure.
    General failure.
    General failure.

    or:


    Pinging 192.168.1.8 with 32 bytes of data:

    General failure.

    General failure.

    General failure.

    General failure.


    If I ping just a string "localhost", then:

    Pinging BoskoNoviM2.vodnik.lan [::1] with 32 bytes of data:

    Reply from ::1: time<1ms

    Reply from ::1: time<1ms

    Reply from ::1: time<1ms

    Reply from ::1: time<1ms


    This PC can ping anything except its own ip address.


    I tried everything from CMD Commands flushdns, release, renew... and sfc /scannow, disabling and uninstalling NIC driver, disabling firewall and windows security and reseting host file. I tried to login with local admin account and repeated most of previously mentioned tasks and still nothing.


    Is there any solution to this except factory reset or reinstall?

    :)

    Ping statistics for 192.168.11.175:

    Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),

    After I restart Windows I didn't get it again, but I'm curious to know what causes GENERAL FAILURE error to begin with.

    I also tried it with ping with similar results.

    Can anyone help figuring out why this is happening?

    Edit....

    I also tried with the firewall off with the same results.
