[OSX-Users] Re: usb ethernet dongle - only getting self-assigned ip?

[Jules]

Have you asked someone in the Systems Team to give an IP address to that 
MAC address? We don't hand out IP addresses to anyone unknown who plugs 
into our network, I'm afraid. :-(

Give Andy Landells or Lance a shout on Monday, and they'll sort you out.
