Let me guess --- on other outlets you get a real IP, 137.138.*.*, right? And
that works as expected?

To add to this, when other laptops
connect to my wall outlet, they  work properly.

Is the MAC address of your laptop registered with the CERN admins? Last time I


I am not sure if this is a misconfiguration or implemented on purpose, but the
CERN admins need to figure out why both of the two 137.138 dhcp servers have
refused to give you an IP. This is the problem on their end of the wall
outlet. Your machine seems to be configured correctly and also behaves
correctly.


I may be a bit thick here, but I see no reference to the OP having any relation to CERN minus the public IP subnet the DHCP client is requesting an IP from.
