The simple solution to your problem is to arrange to have the fixed address that you have been assigned to be actually assigned to you, i.e. get your mac address properly registered with the dhcp server in question.

If it's for your office work, surely their function is to facilitate your use of the network? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com
