Ping error transmit failed general failure

Post by 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?

Solution to Ping transmit failed general failure Error

Post by jmcu »

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.

Jetico Personal Firewall Gets Ping transmit failed error

Post by Hamza-Farooq »

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.

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.
