so I have connected both machines to the same switch. both have internet through ethernet and are in the same network. I am trying to connect to Windows 10 it is not working. So I decided to test using ping and ping gets stuck. Feedbacks are really appreciated. enter image description here

mona@pascal:~$ ping 144.92.237.225
PING 144.92.237.225 (144.92.237.225) 56(84) bytes of data.

Did you ensure that your Windows 10 machine is using a Private network profile to allow ICMP traffic? How do I force Windows 10 to see a network as private? – Run5k Jan 23 '17 at 18:47

In windows 10, go to Firewall then Advanced Settings. Turn off the Domain Profile, Private profile and public profile and try again. If this works, it is a firewall issue and is usually the case. Can you also list the IP of the ubuntu machine and the IP of the windows machine? – Narzard Jan 23 '17 at 18:48
    
They are both in the same private network. Linux machine IP address is 144.92.237.238 – Mona Jalal Jan 23 '17 at 18:48
    
Just to check, when you right-click your network icon in the Notification Area and select Open Network and Sharing Center, the windows that appears specifically says that it is a Private network? – Run5k Jan 23 '17 at 18:53
    
turned off the Firewall settings @narzard told and it pings now. Can you please write that as an answer? thanks – Mona Jalal Jan 23 '17 at 18:54

You want to make sure that ICMP for ipv4 is enabled on the inbound rules for your Private Network Firewall profile.

  1. Open Windows Firewall
  2. Choose Advanced Settings.
  3. Inbound Rules on the left pane.
  4. Find File and Printer Sharing (Echo Request - ICMPv4-In).
  5. Double click to open the properties and choose the advanced tab and make sure that private is checked.
