We have a very strange issue on one of our Windows 2008 R2 servers where pinging certain ip addresses return General Failure.
Server ip details
ip address - 10.10.10.2 /24
Gateway 10.10.10.254
We used to have a device on 10.10.10.250 but we started having the General failure message trying to access the devivce. We moved it to 10.10.10.248 and has been working ever since. More recently the gateway ip address 10.10.10.254 is also now exhibiting the same issue.
I have run netsh int ip reset and I am able to ping the gateway for about 20 seconds before it giving the General Failure message. The server is a virtual server deployed using VMWare OVF.
At the moment we seem to be losing ip addresses and I am completely stumped as to what is causing this. So far we get a general failure when pinging 250,251,254. When pinging any other address we that does not have a connection we get a host unreachable message which is what you would expect. I can ping the loop back address fine.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
