In Windows 10 cmd line issuing

ping raspberrypi.local

to find the IP address of the Raspberry Pi returns a hex address like this:

fe80::103d:b922:5838:6142%9

How can I get the numerical IP address?

    it is an IPv6 addr not an IPv4 addr, try: ping -4 -c 1 raspberrypi.local on Linux and Windows : ping -4 -n 1 raspberrypi.local

  • Thanks @Ephemeral but issuing above command in win 10 I got: Access denied. Option -c requires administrative privileges.

  • Sorry, it's -n 1 for windows but you can also omit that.. keep only -4

It is an IPv6 address, not an IPv4 address. Tell ping to search IPv4 only with the -4 option:

  • On Linux: ping -4 -c 1 raspberrypi.local
  • On Windows: ping -4 -n 1 raspberrypi.local
