Unable to access internet from Windows Command Processor

Question

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.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
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.

Answer 1

Totally disable your firewall (if safe to do so) is normally a good way to test.

If you are behind a proxy, you can't really get the return.
