Could not ping any host on local network (General Failure)

Hi,


This happen twice already and I could not find proper solution to fix this. The 1st time happened 4 months back where I could not ping any local host within the same subnet (eg: my IP is 192.168.1.100 and I could not ping anyone in 192.168.1.x/24). Several post via google said I should download some utility to disable/re-enable IPv6, disable all IPv6-IPv4 transition technologies, reset computer TCPIP and winsock catalog and flush DNS.. all just didn't work. I have to revert and take a long route reformat the PC to recover.


Now this same problem happen again, I couldn't solve it. Pinging to any host will just result "General Failure". I need help to diagnose this issue as it causes the following 2 issue for me.


a) I could not connect to my map drive (NAS) as I can't ping the NAS. Not even via \\<nas-ip>

b) I could not print to my network printer via SMB


And surprisingly, via the Linux sub-system (Ubuntu) I could ping all the host on the network. Just not the Windows 10 host OS. Another point to make, I could access Internet (skype, Outlook, web browsing, etc) without any issue. My Windows 10 Pro have the latest updates.


Appreciate your help.


Thank you.
