    Hello,

    I hope someone have a solution on this.  I cannot ping window Server 2012 Domain Controller with DHCP services.  We are using IPv4 but when I try to ping from command prompt, I get general failer (see below)

    Pinging server.domain [2002:c00a:102::c00a:102] with 32 bytes of data:
    General failure.
    General failure.
    General failure.
    General failure.

    I noticed that the IP it is using is IPv6 which I am not using IPv6.  I can ping the 2012 server by IP address but not by hostname of the server.

    Hello Steve Bui,

    Thank you for posting in this forum.

    What if you run the "ping hostname -4" command?

    Also, if you uncheck IPv6 in the NIC properties and then run "ping hostname", what would be the result?

    Best Regards,

    Leon

    Hello HK.Leon,

    I tried unchecking IPv6 on the host NIC, still same result.  I just tried your ping method and it did get a response.  Thank you so very much for your reply.  At least I know that pinging IPv4 is working and that all that matters.  Many thanks.
