nmap -A -T4 -p- <IP>

This is interesting. I had to modify it to nmap -A -T4 -p- -Pn <IP>.

It said the host is up with 0.077 seconds of latency. All 64k ports were scanned with 7 filtered tcp ports (host-unreachable) and the rest (no-response).

What’s weird about this is that it should be getting a response from IIS like you showed us in the screenshot.
You should try running the original command with elevated privileges, sudo nmap … on linux.

77ms of latency is pretty slow. Based off that I’d assume (but not rule out) that it’s not: on the machine you used to run nmap, not on ethernet, probably wifi with a shitty connection

So, some really dumb, likely irrelevant, questions that might spark an idea:

  • Do you see anything weird connected in the wifi client list?

  • Are you running a VPN server or using VPN to bridge any networks?

  • You said you’re running dual WAN, are those configured properly and not leaking random internet shit into your LAN?

  • Do you have anything that might be running some kind of out-of-band management system like DRAC on a dell server?

  • What’s your IoT situation?

  • Do you have an on-site NVR for security cams?

  • Did you find the mac? If so what are the first 3 octets? Even if the vendor can’t be found, there’s always the chance some crazy ubernerd is going to recognize it. (If it’s 00:d0:2c or 44:d9:e7 I got ya covered)

Again, most of those are probably irrelevant, but throwing the thoughts out there :)
