Remote sites unable to ping new 2016 Standard server by address or name but can ping 2008r2 server at the home site.
Just install Windows 2016 Standard at my site. 10.100.5.12 255.255.255.0 GW 10.100.5.5 DNS Already at the site is another server 10.100.5.11 same subnet mask same GW and same DNS.
From the new server I can ping the IP address of the older server- 10.100.5.11 and I get normal responses for IPv4 but when I ping the by computer name I get IPv6 responses. Don't understand that.
Pinging from the old server by ip address yields the same successful IPv4 responses and when I ping by name successfully IPv6 responses.
The real problem is that remote sites cannot ping the new server by ip address and name and can ping the old one (2008r2) by name or IP address
Did I set something up wrong on the 2016 server to cause this problem?

To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
from the new server do an ipconfig /registerdns and then see if you can ping from the old server to the new server.
Also dbl check that you did not transpose the dns servers when you set up the new 2016 server.
finally look in DNS and see if there are perhaps 2 (or more) entries for that ip address in dns.
