You can enable IIS on almost any windows flavor.

As everyone else has said this is the out of the box default page that comes with Microsoft IIS web server on windows server.
Though I feel like you’d know if you had a copy of windows server running on your network somewhere—is the IP in your usual network subnet?

Fair point.
As a note, I don’t recall all of them saying ‘Windows Server’ in the top left of that page.

I think you can enable IIS, or at least a version of, under Windows Features for Windows 10 Pro/Edu installs.
But someone can correct me if I’m wrong about that.

The only windows box on my network is my company laptop. It is on a different IP address than that one.
It IS in my normal range, but it is NOT listed on my Router’s DHCP client list.
9point6@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Have you recently installed visual studio or are doing any .NET development? It could possibly be a containerised version of IIS
If you completely turn off your windows device and try to access the IP from another device does it still resolve?
RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Great Idea! My windows box is off and I can still see it from my phone.
9point6@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Hmm
I’d maybe try systematically turning any other devices off you think could potentially have the grunt to run windows server in a container or VM.
Do you have a Mac/Linux machine handy? If you run
arp -a
in one terminal and ping the unusual IP in another, that should give you a corresponding MAC address for the device. You can then look up the Mac address and see if it gives you any more info about the device running it—it might not but you never know. You can use something like dnschecker.org/mac-lookup.phpI guess next you could look at taking that MAC and blocking it in your router control panel and see if anything starts complaining

That is weird. Running development environments maybe? Docker with windows iis?
RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I have x-code loaded on a Mac, but that is the closest I have to that.
oracleunity@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Yeah, that’s a company server, specifically for the local network group
Why would an internal server change IP all the time? DHCP is for silly things like laptops that turn on and off eleventy times a day
Strayce@lemmy.sdf.org 4 weeks ago
Even if it isn’t changing IP, you still want it in your DHCP table so that IP doesn’t accidentally get assigned to something else. It’s unlikely but it can happen.
RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Thanks! I did not know DHCP allocation was optional on a home network.
JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 4 weeks ago
The router might have a page for fixed IP addresses.
thermal_shock@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
“home” isn’t descriptive enough. you can run some VERY powerful, in depth stuff if you were so inclined on a “home” network.
mvirts@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Any device can decide to set it’s own IP so that’s not too far fetched. Have any IoT crap like a water softener or colorful lights or speakers or cameras?
RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I have quite a few smart home devices. But the only “crappy IoT things” is an air purifier that is controlled by phone.
Unfortunately, I bought quite a few T-Link products before the IC revealed that they are dangerous.
It is worth exploring.

Ah I have a TP-link router as well, two actually, and Im not monitoring my home network at all. Your experience makes me think I should!
