  1. Ping "General failure" ~50% of the time


    Around 50% of the time when running a ping, its returning "General Failure" for an unknown reason. This is leading to very dodgy internet. It works absolutely fine on Linuxping 8.8.8.8 -tReply from 8.8.8.8: bytes=32 time=20ms TTL=114Reply from 8.8.8.8: bytes=32 time=18ms TTL=114Reply from 8.8.8.8: bytes=32 time=15ms TTL=114General failure.General failure.General failure.General failure.General failure.General failure.General failure.General failure.General failure.Reply from 8.8.8.8: bytes=32 time=18ms TTL=114Reply from 8.8.8.8: bytes=32 time=18ms TTL=114Reply from 8.8.8.8: bytes=32 time=15ms

    What causes PING General Failure

    C:\windows\system32>ping 192.168.11.175

    Pinging 192.168.11.175 with 32 bytes of data:
    General failure.
    General failure.
    General failure.
    General failure.

    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.

    PING: transmit failed. General failure.

    No Microsoft. You are wrong.

    "General failure" is always the the wrong answer.

    Tell me something useful that I can debug. "General failure" tells me nothing.

    "ping" is an age old diagnostic tool. You have neutered it.
