I built one near my spawn, just to get hell materials and for faster travel later on. Some time afterwards, I began a search for a snowy biome to put a nice mountain base in. After some sailing, I found a gorgeous piece of mountainous snowy wonderland. It was rather far from my base, though, so I decided to build a portal in the snow and make a path to the portal by my spawn. I dug out a room and built the portal, went into it, and found myself in the portal base I built on the nether side of my spawn portal. Confused, I went back through the portal and found myself on earth in the portal by my spawn.
I tried going back to the snowy portal and back in, putting out and re-lighting the portal, exploring towards where snowy portal should be in the Nether, everything. But whenever I used the snowy portal, I found myself back in the Nether base by my spawn.
Does anyone know how or why this is happening? I would really appreciate an explanation or advice on what I should do.
Count the blocks between the two portals, divide that number by 16, and enter the Nether from the spawn portal. Move the quotient of the distance between the surface portals, and where you are at, make another portal. Then it shall work.

1) Make a copy of your world file.
2) Delete the "DIM-1" folder in the file.
3) Re-enter your snowy biome portal
4) Observe where the new portal has been generated in the Nether
5) Reload your main save, enter the Nether, and build a portal in the exact spot the generated portal appeared.

BUT, your nether base will be gone.
notch is attempting to fix this problem, i guess.
i think you have to place portals further away then 72 blocks from your previous ones. (but not on vertical axis.)
No, that's accounted for in the fix.
Note the "Make a copy", and 'reload your main save" parts of my post. =)

Divide by 8, not 16.
1) Make a copy of your world file.
2) Delete the "DIM-1" folder in the file.
3) Re-enter your snowy biome portal
4) Observe where the new portal has been generated in the Nether
5) Reload your main save, enter the Nether, and build a portal in the exact spot the generated portal appeared.
Your portals will then work perfectly fine.
Here is a guide on how to fix portals.
