When I ping a host in the same network id as me and the host is down. I still get 0% loss in the result.If I target my ping to a host that is outside my network id, the result shows correct.___________C:\>ping -n 1 192.168.1.1 Pinging 192.168.1.1 with 32 bytes of data:Reply from 192.168.1.2: Destination host unreachable. Ping statistics for 192.168.1.1: Packets: Sent = 1, Received = 1, Lost = 0 (0% loss), C:\>ping -n 1 1.1.1.1 Pinging 1.1.1.1 with 32 bytes of data:Request timed out. Ping statistics for 1.1.1.1: Packets: Sent = 1, Received = 0, Lost = 1 (100% loss),

Hi, May I know the following on your network? 1. Which computers are the following IP Addresses for? 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2 Are they all physical machines? If not, please also let me know which is a virtual machine. 2. Please provide the MAC address for each computer. At this time, reboot the computers and check if the issue persists. Meanwhile, please also capture a netmon trace for our further research: 1. Download the Microsoft Network Monitor 3.3. 2. Install the network monitor on the Windows 7 computer and start to capture. 3. Perform the steps to reproduce the issue, after the issue occurs, stop capturing and save the netmon trace files to check the related network activations. You can use Windows Live SkyDrive to upload the file and share its URL with us. Thanks.Nicholas Li - MSFT

Lol, is this a bot that answered this or perhaps I'm not clear in my question?It is not a network problem? I believe its a display bug for ping. Issue is: If the target is down and it is the same network id. Then ping report this as 0% packet loss. The 192.168.1.2 is the machine Im pinging from. Remembered it is the same network and there for no gateway. The more I think about it, its not really a bug for ping. My machine (192.168.1.2) is replying to ping that host is not available. This is all true. But it would be much better if the ping replies with time out if the target and destination is all on the same network. Try this on your machinePing a host on your same network id that you know is not online. Then you will see that ping report 0% loss Then ping a offline host outside your network id. Then you will see 100% loss.
