Tonight I had a router issue which is now resolved. All my servers came back online. However, one of them I can't ping or remote desktop into now. It's online... It can ping others, but others can't ping it. It can remote desktop into others, but others can't into it. It's online and can get to the internet. This happened on a server once in the past and I don't recall what I did to fix it.

Ideas?

Remote Desktop is enabled and it should be able to accept requests.
 
Check it's IP. Make sure that you are connecting through Remote Desktop to the right IP, because it sounds like it could have possibly changed IPs and you are trying to access it on a different IP.
 
Check the firewall settings, and that remote desktop is actually enabled.
 
Shazam! I ran an IP scan on my network and noticed that it was trying to take an IP that is designated to a printer. Release renew fixed it.

Probably should have done that last night but was too tired to think.

Thanks all!
