There is a machine on our network called owner-pc. I want to learn its ip address. I'm not sure which computer it is, and I don't want to trundle to each station to figure it out. When I ping it from the command line on a windows machine, I get something like this:

Thats interesting. I wonder if you're using IPv6. It looks kinda like an IPv6 address.

  • yes its ipv6 thus ping -4 works or nslookup

  • I'm new to IPv6. I was not able to find a description of ping -4 on google. Does ping -4 convert an IPv6 address to IPv4?

    sorry if I seemed scruffy, but no ping -4 just forces ping to use v4 addressing.
