IP addresses starting with 10 (10.x.x.x) are used for internal/ local network use only. They are not public IP's and cannot connect over the internet. That means 10.49.16.1 is a local machine in your office/home. It's probably the computer of an IT staffer checking settings remotely on your PC. Usually it is good practice for anyone to request connection first in the interests of security so whoever it is may be violating the rules depending on the company security policy but it is definitely against the principles of IT Best Practice, no matter what the company policy is..

To find the remote machine's name, open a command prompt (Start > Run > type CMD) and type

ping -a 10.49.56.2

You will see a result like:

Pinging NAME[10.49.56.2] with 32 bytes of data:

NAME will be the name of the machine.

Monitor failed attempts at logging on to a windows system group policy must be enabled?

I assume you wish to know if the "Monitoring Failed Log On Attemps" group policy must be enabled? The answer is yes. If you wish to know if someone is trying to log into your computer and they have no right or authorization to access your computer, this would be a wise decision. Not only will it let you know if an unauthorized user is trying to access your computer, it will also keep them from trying by locking the system after a set number of fails.
