Problem upgrade switches with USB network adapter

[hfaisca]

Hello,

I've a PC that don't have a native network cable adapter, so i had to buy a USB ethernet adapter, i'm having some issues to upgrade or transfer a config file via tftp. Basically I can ping from PC to Switch but i'm unable to ping from switch to PC. 

I think it's a common problem with this type of USB adapters, so I would like to know if there is any solution?

The adapter is a Sharkoon 3-Port USB 3.0 + RJ45 running on a Windows 10 machine.

Best regards.

Don't use that particular brand of USB to Ethernet adaptor.

Are there any firewalls on the PC itself that is blocking ICMP?

hi,

why not transfer the IOS via USB so you don't need to do TFTP from PC?

make sure it's a compatible USB to cisco device.
