Windows 8 Ping unable to find host for the first couple of pings

[geo77]

Hello,
I have a weird problem, I can ping certain hosts in my network without a problem, but certain others when I try to ping at first it will come back with Destination host unreachable, but after a minute of running "ping -t 192.168.1.140" it will find it and replies start coming back. I think it might be an issue with my machine, because I have another machine using the same wireless and wired connection and it works fine.

When I stop pinging it and try pinging again after a minute or so, it can't find the host again.

Thanks for any help, below is my configuration.

Try clearing your arp cache.
From and elevated command prompt type
netsh interface ip delete arpcache
see if that helps

Ok, this is really confusing me now, I installed a virtual machine using virtual box. I have the virtual network adapter in bridge mode, and it works flawlessly. I'm not even sure how this could be possible, if the actual adapter is having problems for the virtual one to work flawlessly.

Any help, point of view, suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I’d say that your dhcp can’t tell the host machine from the virtual one… it’s just a guess but is the dhcp running from an internet router of some kind and if so then does it track the two machines as having the same name?

p.s. if this is the case then setting a static mac address for the virtual machine and giving it a reserved ip address in the dhcp (reboot needed as well) is normally the best fix.
