Ping request timeout on macOS

Admin 1
Viewed 2205

I am running macOS Big Sur version 11.3.1 (20E241).

My internet connection works. I do not have my firewall active.

I still cannot ping any IP address. It fails with:

Request timeout for icmp_seq 0

What am I missing?

UPDATE

While trying to filter out the possible problems, I connected my laptop to a different network (mobile 4G) and the ping worked. So, the problem is not anything related to a configuration in my laptop but in my router.

The problem was not related to MacOs but with my router configuration.

I am using a tp-link C50 Archer.

The router has a security session where it offers to checkboxes:

  • Forbid Ping Packets From LAN Port
  • Forbid Ping Packets From WAN Port

Those were selected and that was the issue.

Unchecking those options the timeout was gone.
