"GENERAL FAILURE" when pinging to 127.0.0.1 [closed]

networking windows-7

Solution 1:

It sounds like the TCP stack might be corrupted. If so, here is a potential fix:

  1. Click the Start button, bottom-left of the screen
  2. Type cmd into the Search programs and files box and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter (runs the command prompt as administator and bypasses UAC if enabled)
  3. Type netsh int ip reset reset.txt and press Enter
  4. Type netsh winsock reset and press Enter
  5. Restart the computer

Failing that, pop in the Windows 7 install CD and cancel out of the installation wizard. From the same command prompt as above, type sfc /scannow and press Enter. Let it run through and restart.
