Ping: General Failure
I am facing a weird issue on my laptop that only Internet Explorer can access internet no other application, not even chrome, iTunes. When I try to ping any website I get an error.
When I narrowed it down, I cant even ping my gateway, which shows it could be a firewall issue, But when I open my Internet Explorer I can access every website I want.
Strangely enough when I try nslookup it works.
I've searched a lot on google, I've tried
1. Releasing My IP and Renewing it.
Resetting winsock
Resetting ipv4 logs.
Disabled IPv6
Pinging with IPv4 Protocol (ping -4 google.com)
Deleting the saved password and reconnecting it
And lot more which is written on 1st page when you google Ping General Failure windows 7 and similar searches
Why is this Happening ? Any Idea ?
Please Help, this is spoiling my weekend.
EDIT 1 - Adding output of route print
windows-7 windows networking ip ipv4

This has happened to me before. Try completely resetting Internet Explorer to its default settings

Does turning it off in Programs and Features and then turning it on help? Also, go to Internet Explorer>Internet Options and check all of your connectivity settings, specifically with trusted sites, dns, etc... Many times, improper Internet Explorer settings cause any browser except for itself to not work

Do you have some additional firewall/security software installed? Even if you disabled the integrated windows firewall it seems you have some additional one.

Are you connected by wire or wireless? if you have both, does it also happen on the other interface? Have you tried reinstalling your drivers?

Could you try a rollback through system restore? As DNS is working properly, could be a network driver issue. Isping localhostworking? Isping <your gateway IP>working? Have you tried Safe Mode With Networking? Or a clean boot with disabled services (msconfig) to see if any of those interfere?

This just happened to me, although on Windows 10.
There are a lot factors involved on this particular computer --- it is used for training and has various remote control applications installed --- but turning off Windows Defender Firewall solved the issue, at least at the operational level.
Disabling Windows Defender Firewall...
Now it pings!
