Could just be that ICMP is disabled on the W10 firewall.


192.168.1.1 worked - 4 packets sent and received.

Now what?

That's weird! Sounds like you have a connection. (Did you ping gmail.com
using its name, or did you specify its numerical IP address?)

Be sure to check that your DNS is working properly by pinging a site by
its name rather than its IP address.


Sorry I have not replied. Had to take wifey to doc.

on w10 PC:
ping gmail.com worked fine (got IP add for gmail,com = 74.208.232.28)

on XP PC:
ping gmail.com worked too (got IP add for gmail,com = 172.217.15.69))
Thanks

Hey, try this link on your XP box. It's about the only site I can think
of that's http rather than https, so I'm guessing it'll work.

http://notstupid.us/clox/clockie.html

It's a site developed and maintained by Mark Lloyd, one of the folks
active here in these newsgroups. It should give you a large-font digital
clock that runs and shows the current time. Well, nearly current. It
seems to be about 10 minutes slow, but it's still a good test for a
browser that seems to have trouble with current https sites.

Over the years, I've used "www.sun.com" for this
test case,


I tend to use 3-letter domains, as well, because they're easy to type,
but I usually use dull stuff like cnn, msn, aol, abc, etc.

because it uses one IP address and
as far as I know, the same value world-wide.
And I think you can still ping it, amongst
other things. It's not a "pretty" web site,
but from a test perspective, it's been
consistent.

nslookup www.sun.com

156.151.59.35


Interestingly, or perhaps not, www.sun.com is a CNAME pointing to
legacy-sun.oraclegha.com, and that domain then points to 156.151.59.35.
I let it run for a while and never saw anything else.

New day, new try.
I turned evrything off lst nite. Restarted both machines. Command
window was gone of course. Re-tried ping to gmain.com on XP machine -
still works fine. Now get 216.58.218.229. I think I told you last
night that I tried this on the XP machine with the co-connected W7
machine off - still worked.

Now I'll look at your subsequent posts to see what to try next.
Thanks

Google has multiple IP addresses.

And a person in North America gets a different set
than you'd get in the UK.

*******


But I was in same place.


It doesn't matter. Every organization gets to set the rules for how
their domains will resolve. In the simplest case, a request to resolve
www.mydomain.com will always return the same IP because the
authoritative DNS system only contains a single A record for that
domain.
But things can quickly become more complicated after that. You can trust
Google not to use the simplest DNS configuration so it shouldn't be
surprising that requests for any of their domains will return a range of
results. That doesn't indicate an error of any kind, it's just how they
have their DNS configured. The important part is that your request was
resolved.
