Issue: When you tried to Ping a Server it freeze. or very slow to reply. Even though the server is up and running.


Action Done to Solve the Issue:

Reset the TCP/IP.  

1.To be safe Login as console / ILO (not remote)

2. Take note of those IP's. Make screenshots of those ip details you have. You need this because IP on the networks will run remove once you run the commands.

3. Run as Administrator on command then type: netsh int ip reset.

4. Reboot the server. then set up the return back the ip details.


Note: if the Server affected is Solarwind Server you need to do the following:

- Stop the Collector and JobEngine Service. 
- Clear Collector and JobEngine SDF files then start both services
