Now that most Windows machines have IPv6 installed by default, I have noticed that when you do a ping of a machine, you will get the IPv6 address instead of the IPv4 address!!
Well, I still prefer reading and remembering the IPv4 addresses, so I wanted to find out how to get the IPv4 address instead when I performed a ping.
Thankfully, it was rather easy to accomplish as follows:
ping MYSERVER -4
That was all that was needed to return the IPv4 address!
If I still want to get the IPv6 address, I can get it by just changing the command to this instead:
ping MYSERVER -6
How simple is that??
