basically, when i try to ping the computers on my network the ip is just a jumbled mess of letters and numbers example:"fe80:cda4:e506:e546:9ac1%12" how can i fix this so i can see their actual ip?

Dude, it's IPV6 . That's the new version of IP.

try pinging the ipv4 (the standard IP's people are used to [127.0.0.1])

You can ping the computers name so if the computers name is bob you would type in ping bob-PC

Hi,
guess it wont be that simple. First of all you need to know where your pc's get there IP addresses from. Do you use DHCP on your network? Take a look at the DHCP configuration then. You can use ipconfig /all on windows to get some more information about the network configuration. On Win7 you can also disable ipv6. Pinging a computername will only work if you have DNS Service on your network or you manually create a host file entry. Just give us some more information about your setup. An output of ipconfig /all would be nice and the command you used to ping them. If you are on linux the output of the following commands would be interesting: ifconfig, cat /etc/resolv.conf and route -C
Cheers,
RBA
