How can I view the results of a ping command in iPv4 rather than iPv6?

How can I view the results of a ping command in iPv4 rather than iPv6?

It is becoming increasingly common when I ping a remote server's hostname to receive a response back in iPv6 rather than iPv4.

I am still learning iPv6 and need to be able to quickly determine the iPv4 addresses of remote servers.

Are there any command line switches that will allow me to view the results of what would be an iPv6 ping address in iPv4 instead?

You can disable ipv6 onn all your network cards.

Ipv4 is better to remember especially when building a domain with little knowledge.
