Quit pinging yourself and show us the results of your ipconfig /all.

Dunno...never seen it. I was wondering if there was something in the
network settings that might give a clue. Are you using the Windows ping or
a 3rd party?

Windows Ping. I made it stop or rather look "normal" by removing IPv6 from
my network settings. Therefore, I must conclude it has something to do with
IPv6.
