Well, what exactly is wrong with this IP? Is it from a different subnet? |
| 12 |
Or is it just that the router isn't set correctly, so you see all other |
| 13 |
machines in the local net but can't get out? Or does the router refuse |
| 14 |
to route packets from parts of the subnet and you get an address in this |
| 15 |
part? |

If you tell the guy in charge that you'll use a static IP as long as he |
| 24 |
doesn't get the server fixed, I think that will be a motivation :) |
