Connection issue, Server IP address wrong

A user has a Desktop machine connected to the network, which has Oracle
installed on a separate server, and was able to connect both into the
network to use Exchange (mostly on the laptop), SQL, Oracle, etc, with no
problems.
A while back the user decided to install Oracle 10i, using the Enterprise
Server version, for a sales presentation off site. The process required a
Microsoft Loopback adapter to be installed, which was done. However, the
computer name used during setup was not the correct computer name, but that
of another computer on the network.
The Oracle Installation completed but Oracle failed to initialize, so the
user uninstalled Oracle and the Loopback Adapeter after returning from the
sales presentation.
Since then, the user can log onto the network and use the network drives he
has permissions for, can use SQL, Sharepoint and Oracle on the server, but
cannot use Exchange or Active Directory (a specialized company program
requires Active Directory for log on permissions).
When I ping the server from his laptop, I get an unusual response:
Pinging mainserver [198.168.2.28] with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 207.253.250.163: Destination host unreachable.
Reply from 207.253.250.163: Destination host unreachable.
Reply from 207.253.250.163: Destination host unreachable.

Ping statistics for 198.168.2.28:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms
The mainserver's IP address is 192.168.2.1 (which if ping by this IP, don't
have this issue). None of the other computers on the network give this
response.
When I tried to add another authenticated user to the laptop, I can choose
the user from AD but get the following when trying to complete the action:
"Windows cannot process the objectd with the name "Administrator" because
of the following error: "The RPC server is unavailable".
Checking logs on the server, I see that the security trust for the laptop
has been disabled.
I suspect that most of the issues have to do with the misdirection of the IP
address.
So I guess my question is two fold 1) if my assumption is correct, how can I
redirect? And 2) has anyone else seen this?
Thanx,
Allen
