I wonder is someone could answer this for me as it has me a really confused. Recently the company that I work for moved to a new office building and the ip address that I use to log in via remote desktop has changed. The new ip address that I have been given logs me in fine – I click on remote desktop and the windows Small Business Server2003 log-in prompt comes up which asks for user name and passed word etc, just as before.
However, when I do an ip look-up on this new ip address, it appears to resolve to a completely different company host. The weird thing is, it looks like a mail server address i.e. mail.hghghhgh@hjhjhkjh.com I have used netstat on my machine when I log in via remote desktop and this also resolves to the name of this mystery company. Whilst connected to the work computer via remote desktop I ran an ip check whilst on the net at their end, and it is still the ip address of this other company? I don’t know if this is relevant but when I type this new ip address straight into my browser, a draytek router log-in page appears. Additionally, when I do a reverse look-up of this mail server address host, it comes up with another ip address. One of the ip look up web pages I used, said that the DNS was broken on the IP that i use to log in.
Is my connection getting routed via another company or is it simply that my company is using the old ip address of this ‘other’ company and if so why hasn’t this been updated on the ip tracer websites. One final point is when I type the reverse ip address of this mystery host into my remote desktop it takes me to the log-in page of this other company. Your thoughts would be much appreciated. As can probably tell I know literally nothing about routers and networking.
