I am having an issue with my computer. My IIS services are not working.
I have narrowed it down to the fact that my computer cannot find itself via its name.
I try pinging my computer by its name and I get this:
C:\Users\18773>ping MyComputerNameHere
Pinging MyComputerNameHere [::1] with 32 bytes of data: PING: transmit failed. General failure. PING: transmit failed. General failure. PING: transmit failed. General failure. PING: transmit failed. General failure. Ping statistics for ::1: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),
I tried having someone else ping my machine and it works fine for them.
Any ideas?
1when you ping over a network using a computer name, you are using WINS. Can you ping your computer by IP address? if so, then for some reason WINS translation is failing, if not, then something is going on with your network connection, but that is a place to start. – MaQleod – 2010-11-02T16:52:08.873
