I can ping hostname on our internal network but cannot ping Internal Ip addresses

for some reason I cannot ping any device on the internal network but I can ping the host-name.
DHCP and DNS are running off the server.
Its a 2008  r2 server.
We have a router attached to a switch which all the devices and server are attached to.
DHCP is not running on the router.

Have you confirmed that the ip-address that the ping host-name is returning is the same?

WHen I ping it shows a only IPV6 address. it shows no IPV4 which is strange
ok if you put ping -4 hostname it shows the ipv4 and yes it does resolve the ip
interesting.
Have you tried pinging from another machine to see if you get the same results?
im not onsite right now but i looked it up and IPV6 takes presidence over ipv4 when you ping localhost.
but the issue still remains that i cant ping ipv4 addresses
it should still ping.
when i installed a new printer on the network i had to use the hostname for the pc to see the printer. it would not see the IPv4 address. I even used a static ip on the printer too.
it seems that something is blocking IPV4. just dont know what it is
have your done a nslookup from the guest machine?
I will be onsite today. I will test
