I don't think so, but I'm not quite sure I understand this anyway. So
you have a DHCP server you don't control (@work?) and it's not giving
you the IP you want but something else---"abd" in what way? And it
remembers your PCMCIA card's MAC address...so you have another port in
your laptop and want to use that instead?
I'd think if the DHCP server gives you an andress that doesn't work in
your subnet then it's a server configuration issue and should be fixed
there.
