"local" is not really a network. That's the loopback interface and
it's always available. The packets don't leave your machine. If you
pinged something like 8.8.8.8 that would be more useful. But you
didn't even answer most of the questions...
I pinged 8.8.8.8 and the gateway of my router. "Network Unreachable" is
the response. I can't find traceroute on my system which is unusual.
