Help please, I'm a net admin with little SMS experience. Anyone know why SMS would report 2 ip addresses for one device. The device is a laptop in a docking station. The laptop has an internal NIC but when in the dock is using the NIC in the dock. The two IP addresses that SMS display are 127.127.127.127 and the correct address for the device. I'm assuming the reason for the loopback is the internal nic that is not being used while in the doc. When I attempt to remote the machine it connects to the loopback address instead of the correct address. Can anyone help me out on this one? I couldn't find anything on technet about it. Thanks!

You can also just utilize Remote.exe with the appropriate IP address to see if you can get around this issue. Here's how to do it:
