Our university (school) has a limitation that one can only connect to their network using one device per student. It has been put in place because of the poor connectivity here (I'm in South Africa). I have set up my mobile (android) as my connecting device and when I tried to use my laptop on the network by tethering on my mobile I couldn't connect. I'm guessing the IP address is checked and, since the laptop IP is different, it won't let me in.

Any idea how I could get the laptop's IP the same as the phone? We are instructed to use DHCP and I'm using windows on my laptop.
