I ran cmd as an administrator and I pinged this ip adress "164.100.118.41" and it showed request timed out,
So I thought it was a connection problem so I restarted the router and just to check the connection
I pinged to google.com and was getting good result,
pinged to some e-learning websites got good result, but again a bad result from 164.100.118.41.
Why is the problem coming? Please help me resolve this.

    Some hosts do not respond to ICMP packets. Have you try to access the web site?

A web server will most probably serve web content via port 80 (http) and port 443 (https), unless configured otherwise. Operation of web service is completely different to replying to "ping" messages... it's a different protocol (icmp) and packet type (no port). So, any server might respond to either type of request, a combination of those, or none at all. Even worse: any machine involved in the packet transport might decide to forward specific traffic, or to drop it. Many machines/firewalls do forward http(s), but drop icmp.

    You can download the program paping which allows you to ping specific ports. so paping ipaddress -p 80 would give you what you want.

  • I guess ICMP won't work (any more?), but things like paping (which apparently uses a different approach) are still worth a try; good idea @LPChip :)
