What do you get if you try to "curl" or "wget" from that address?

Well, we have a test to connect to port 80 on 1.1.1.1 and it should fail, but recently it started to pass (as in the last couple of days). I can't ping it, but nmap shows that it responds to every single well-known port.

I went around and turned off some switches, but couldn't locate the issue (we're working so I can't turn off everything) and I even removed the broadband connection and I could still connect with "telnet 1.1.1.1 80" so I am pretty certain the issue is local.
