Windows 10: My computer keeps pinging an unknown IP address

So we used Wireshark in class and found out that my computer has been pinging 168.95.245.1 every second in a ICMP protocol. I did a quick look up, and it returned Hinet which is based in Taiwan, I have been searching the internet about Hinet, but I am not receiving any results. I need help to know if my computer is compromised or there is something going on that is a problem.

Unable to ping or see external IP addresses

On a Windows 10 computer, I have good network connectivity and can access websites with no problem, but the "connect" window in Jamulus that's supposed to display all connected servers was empty. Comparing with others on the network, we discovered one apparent
symptom/problem: I can't ping any IP addresses. I tried several valid IP addresses (as verified by others who successfully pinged on their Windows computers) and they all timed out. I was able to ping
www.google.com and www.microsoft.com, but failed trying to ping google's IP address 8.8.8.8 .

-The problem is not in my cable modem/router (Arris Surfboard) because using the I
was able to ping to all the IP addresses using Arris' Ping WAN Utility.

-I tried turning off Windows Defender Firewall, then rebooting the computer, but still couldn't ping any IP addresses.

-I ran Command Prompt as administrator and executed

"ipconfig /flushdns" , then "ipconfig /registerdns"

and rebooted, but still no success.

I'm guessing there's some Windows setting that's not allowing me to ping and that's also blocking Jamulus from seeing other computers on its network.

Please provide suggestions on what and how to check any other settings that may be causing this problem.

 

Epson WF 2650 IP Address issues

Hi Debbie,

Just to verify, have you tried pinging your printer's IP address, to see if it is being picked up by the network? Here are the steps:

• Type CMD on the Cortana search box to launch Command Prompt.
• On the Command Prompt box, type ping <printer's IP address> and hit the Enter key.

Let us know what shows on the command prompt. We'll keep an eye out to your response.

 

IP ADDRESS

This problem usually sorts itself out automatically, but see the following for some suggestions:

If you keep getting these notifications, chances are that some device on your network is configured to use a static IP address that is within the range of addresses allocated by your router's DHCP server.

If you need some help in sorting out a situation like this, please provide the following information:

• the make and specific model of your router
• the make and specific model of every device connected to your network, including printers, TV set top boxes, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, etc.

If you have many devices connected to your network, download and run Advanced IP scanner (Advanced IP Scanner - Download Free Network Scanner). This will list all of your currently-connected
network devices and show their IP addresses.
