How can I check an ip address of a computer through CMD which is on the same LAN as I am without any third party software?

I'm fully aware of pinging the PC name, but what would this problem below indicate?

C:\Users\Storage>ping malan-pc

You have the IPv6 address. If you want the IPv4 address you need add -4 to the ping command.

ping -4 malan-pc

This question really isn't for ServerFault, but I'll answer anyway

If DNS is working properly then simply "ping" the computer and look at the resolved IP.

I.e.

ping computername

And it should return something like

Pinging computername [172.16.0.1] with 32 bytes of data:
Nobody
