Windows 10: 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 Iwas 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.

Unable to find printer IP Address

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



Here are the few settings that you can try to find the IP address of the printer that are connected on the same network.



Method 1:

1. Search for CMD on the start menu, right click on CMD and run it as administrator.
   
2. Type in arp –a on the command prompt and hit enter.
   
3. You will find list of all the IP connected to the system.
   
4. Look for the dynamic IP address.
   
5. Copy and paste the IP on your browser, and the IP that opens your Printer setup page will be the IP for the printer.
   

Method 2:

1. You can try to ping the printer name, by typing
   ping <printer name> on the command prompt that will give you the printer IP address.
   
2. You can also refer to this
   suggestion posted by BulldogXX on January 13.
   
3. Check for the Canon IJ Network Tool from the post above, as you have mention you are using Canon printer.
   

You can type in ipconfig and find your Ethernet adapter IP address, if the printers are on wired network, and if the printer IP address has the same network address as your Ethernet network address then the printer
is in wired network, and same goes for the Wireless network.

You can also compare the SSID of the WIFI and the SSID of the printer, if the SSID matched then the printer is on WIFI network, same goes for the Ethernet connection.



If you still face the issue, reply to this post more information.



Hope it helps.
