Windows to Linux Ping not working while Telnet works

Solution 1:

You can't ping a port number (ping says that the device is reachable, nothing more).

But you can use something like this powershell cmdlet instead: Test-NetConnection

Test-NetConnection 10.32.9.82 -Port 9999

You'll get an output like that, note that the output shows if Ping succeeded, and if the port is reachable, that's two different things !

RemoteAddress          : 10.32.9.82
RemotePort             : 9999
InterfaceAlias         : Ethernet
SourceAddress          : 192.168.1.166
PingSucceeded          : True
PingReplyDetails (RTT) : 1 ms
TcpTestSucceeded       : True
