OSError: [WinError 10040]

Running the multi_ping on a Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard (64 bit) with Python 3.5.2, I got the following error:

---

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "D:\venv\lib\site-packages\multiping_init_.py", line 485, in multi_ping
single_results, no_results = mp.receive(retry_timeout)
File "D:\venv\lib\site-packages\multiping_init_.py", line 399, in receive
pkts = self.read_all_from_socket(remaining_time)
File "D:\venv\lib\site-packages\multiping_init.py", line 320, in _read_all_from_socket
p = self._sock.recv(64)
OSError: [WinError 10040] A message sent on a datagram socket was larger than the internal message buffer or some other
network limit, or the buffer used to receive a datagram into was smaller than the datagram itself

---

Note that the IP address that I try to ping is not reachable, it works when I ping an address that is reachable. What is weird is that I have the library installed on two server which should be identical (save OS and same Python version) and it only failed on one server.

I could work around the issue by increasing the socket receive buffer to 128 bytes: File "D:\venv\lib\site-packages\multiping\__init__.py", line 320, in _read_all_from_socket p = self._sock.recv(128)

I am experiencing this problem as well on a Windows 10 machine and Python 3.7.4 when pinging a large number of IPs (>1000).
