Ping @error=1

[Inconspicuous]

My Ping function doesn't work. It always returns @error=1.

For example,

Ping("www.google.com")
If Not @error Then
    MsgBox(0, "Ping", "Online.")
Else
    MsgBox(0, "Ping", "@error=" & @error)
EndIf

gives @error=1 every time I try it.

I've tried pinging www.google.com in cmd and it worked.

I'm running on Windows 7 Professional x64.

You most likely have a firewall issue. Many firewalls block ICMP traffic by default and the user never knows.

It may also be that your firewall is specifically blocking your script.

[Inconspicuous]

Sorry, forgot to mention that I disabled my firewall, as well. It still gave the same result.

Can you ping anywhere at all?

Can you ping anywhere at all?

Yes, I tried. I get the same error for any domain I try. And all of them can be pinged in cmd.

Try...

#RequireAdmin
Ping("www.google.com")
If Not @error Then
    MsgBox(0, "Ping", "Online.")
Else
    MsgBox(0, "Ping", "@error=" & @error)
EndIf

Still the same result.

I also tried compiling with:

#Region
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_requestedExecutionLevel=requireAdministrator
#EndRegion
Ping("www.google.com")
If Not @error Then
    MsgBox(0, "Ping", "Online")
Else
    MsgBox(0, "Ping", "@error=" & @error)
EndIf

For the sake of asking, what version of AutoIt are you running?

[Inconspicuous]

The latest, v3.3.6.1.

Every method shown so far works for me and I've tried them on 3 systems. They are correct and they work so the problem has to be something related to your system. Just for curiosity, try pinging your own system (127.0.0.1) and see what the return is.

[Inconspicuous]

Pinging my own system works fine, @error=0.

[JohnOne]

Does InetGet() work?

[GEOSoft]

one more test

try it with 87.106.244.38

[Inconspicuous]

Same result and I can ping it in cmd. I just reinstalled AutoIt and tried restarting my computer, but it didn't help. I attached my system information from DxDiag if it's any help.

Could it be that I disabled a service that is required?

It fails in both Scite and compiled?

[Inconspicuous]

It fails in both Scite and compiled?

Yes, it fails in both. I compiled using default settings and ran the output .exe file with firewall disabled. It still doesn't work.

This is definitly system related and nothing to do with AutoIt. If you can connect fine to the internet then we should look elsewhere.

Compile the script, copy it to your desktop, R-Click on it and choose "Run as Administrator", see what happens.

It still didn't work. I'm using ESET Smart Security, and I ran the compiled script using admin with all security disabled.

As in, you right clicked the tray icon and selected "Do not filter network traffic (Disable Firewall)"?

I opened up the ESET control panel and went to "Setup" to disable Firewall, all Antivirus and Antispyware, and Antispam protection.
