Hi,
How do i find the outside ip address of one of our servers, which sits here by us ?
What method/tools can i use ?
Thanks
 
Is it running Windows or Linux?

Log on to the box, if Windows: ipconfig /all (at prompt)
If Linux: ifconfig

Sounds like the port 3389 (think thats the RDP port) is mapped to a fixed Terminal Server on your network, hence you remoting into that one.
That external IP goes through a firewall more than likely, the firewall is routing that port.
 
we have two servers

server 1 and server 2

i found the ip for server one, and want to remote desktop into it.

but i'm remote desktoping into server 2. and i'm supposed to login to server 1, which i did, but it's going to server 2.
 
how are you specifying which server you are connecting to?
Does each server have a static external IP address? or are both using the same external IP (1 router). If both are using the same one - then you need to specify in the firewall that the RDP port needs to point to server1 and not server2...
Otherwise you need to setup static external IP address for each server.

Each has their own IP.
 
thanks :)
funny thing is, both servers now have the same external ip's. :eek:
 
lol - ok so that proves that they dont have static external IP address's. they share the same external IP through the same router.
Same answer though, problem is with your firewall port/ip mapping
 
do a nslookup fo your domain and you'll get your external ip. Your server will have static private ip's, so the router will be doing NAT. if you set the nslookup set type=mx you will also get your external ip of your router
