I may be a bit thick here, but I see no reference to the OP having any

requesting an IP from.

It's not obvious, but a little checking will show that CERN owns
137.138.x.y.

That much I got, but that may just be a config error on the laptop
rather than an association with CERN.  I mean, they are public DHCP
addresses.  So unless he works for them, or what have you, that won't work.

I'm not flaming, I'm just trying to make a point that he may not be
involved with CERN, so why should that matter?



Why should it matter? Well, what's going to happen when he requests a web page? Will it be routed to him? Not very likely, when he's using an IP address assigned to CERN, is it?
