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

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