Can someone explain this to me?

gbouras@master:~$ ping 10.0.0.12
ping: connect: Invalid argument
gbouras@master:~$ ping 10.0.0.11
PING 10.0.0.11 (10.0.0.11) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 10.0.0.11: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.079 ms
64 bytes from 10.0.0.11: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.082 ms

I understand if 10.0.0.12 doesn't exist and I get a timeout error but I don't get why it would say "Invalid argument"

    Does the ping: connect: Invalid argument error message reoccur if you push the button in back of the router to toggle the power off and then push it again to toggle the power back on? – karel Nov 15 '21 at 20:55

    What does type -a ping tell you? Is ping an alias, shell function, or a script, rather than an ELF binary at /sbin/ping? – waltinator Nov 15 '21 at 21:11
  • $type -a ping ping is /usr/bin/ping ping is /bin/ping this runs on GCP, created using their supplied ubuntu image –  Nov 16 '21 at 01:00
