That looks like an IPv6 format address to me.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6

There are more IPv6 addresses than IPv4 (which are in the nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn format I'm guessing you're looking for). So in general you can't map an IPv6 address back to IPv4.

If you want/need an IPv4 address, you'll need to change the network config for the host.
