i have been accessing our remote server which is located outside our windows domain using and ip address. When i entered the ip address this morning it brought the remote desktop window as usual but was refusing to accept my log in credentials. Then i decided entered my domain admin password just for a try, but to my surprise i was logged into another machine on the domain which is the dns server. I physically went to the site and managed to login and restarted the machine but still its giving the same problem on all the domain computers when i try to access the remote server.

7Duplicate IP address? Gremlins? Servers installed on an ancient Indian burial ground?– HopelessN00bMay 30, 2014 at 14:14

Is it a public or private IP address? Sounds like the IP has been put into use inside your dns domain.– ReacesMay 30, 2014 at 14:21

it is a public ip address which sites outside our network. I was able to login yesterday without any problems.– user2032928May 30, 2014 at 14:27

2Sounds like someone messed with the router or the server grabbed a new IP...– Nathan CMay 30, 2014 at 14:32

i checked the IP address from the remote site and it is still the same. This is really strange.– user2032928May 30, 2014 at 14:37

This to me sound like to could be a SNAT issue. Could your firewall or untangle be directing all RDP (assuming that is what you are using) traffic to the DNS server?

Someone had changed the configurations in the firewall to redirect all remote desktop traffic to the DNS Jun 13, 2014 at 9:20
