I can't ping. The only two IP's that receive replies are 192.168.101 and 127.0.0.1. I am the 192.168.0.101. I can't even ping the host computer. And my internet is suddenly starting to freeze a lot, I have to wait a few hours for it to work again. I checked for adware and viruses, but I am completely clean. Then I checked fro MALICIOUS processes, I got rid of the ones I didn't need (the ones that didn't look familiar) and it still did NOTHING. I don't remember what I did because I haven't done a ping check in months. I also got rid of my firewall, originally the error was "PING transmit failed, error code (some number)" Because I accidently made the firewall always block pings, but just shutting it down got rid of that. Any help would be great.

P.S. I am able to connect to the internet through a web browser.

IE: I am posting in this forum through the computer with the ping problem. Maybe my ping file is corrupt, or maybe this is more serious.type net after the cmd prompt or in the run box......aand chose the options like net view.....does it though up an error message??Sorry to waste your time GUYS, sorry. It started working again. I think all I did was uninstall my firewall and restart a couple times. Strange how that fixed it when it used to work fine with my firewall.

By the way, the net command worked fine. No errors.

Thanks anyways.Nevermind, it stopped working again. It seems it works right when I restart, but when I go to web sites, somewhere in the middle of it I lose the ability to ping. I need help again.reconfig firewall to allow sites lthat you wish to ping.....also check you are allowed to ping the SITE in question the other firewall may bounce your request back?? check the network settings???file sharing and all that jazz....Nevermind, it started working again. Sorry to waste forum space. Dont worry john take it easy mate.......if you have... a ..problem we have the time?? just post.....no charge....someone will help........Wow, the way it was going back and forth I thought is was more than just a ping issue.  More like ping-pong.LOL. I believe it stops working everytime I feel a slight lag. For EXAMPLE, if all of a sudden I am going to a website and it takes longer than usual, my ping stops to work.You do know that ping and surfing are directly related right?  If you can't ping then you won't be able to surf either.Yeah I know, weird right?. I can only ping 192.168.0.101 (myself) and 127.0.0.1 (also myself). Anything else results in a request timed out.see if you can repair the winsock>>http://cexx.org/lspfix.htm
