I am unable to access internet from the Windows Command Processor. Below is the output on doing a simple ping:
C:\Users\vivekkumar>ping www.stackexchange.com
Pinging www.stackexchange.com [198.252.206.16] with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.

Ping statistics for 198.252.206.16:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),
I checked my firewall settings and found that Windows Command Processor was missing from the list of programs that are allowed to communicate through the Windows Firewall. So, I added it. Also, restarted the firewall service. However, I still get the same issue.
The firewall rules corresponding to cmd.exe now are:
Rule Name: Windows Command Processor
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enabled: Yes
Direction: In
Profiles: Domain,Private,Public
Grouping:
LocalIP: Any
RemoteIP: Any
Protocol: TCP
LocalPort: Any
RemotePort: Any
Edge traversal: Yes
Action: Allow
There is another similar rule for UDP. Also, I am able to ping computers on my local network and my internet is working fine.
What can I do to resolve this issue.

1If you totally disable your firewall, does the issue resolve itself? Are you behind a proxy or anything similar? – Dave – 2013-09-26T11:54:48.167
Tried disabling the firewall, it didn't work. As per http://whatismyipaddress.com/proxy-check , yes a Proxy server was detected.
