online?

In our case, that lab uses 172.16.0.xx, not
192.168.1.xx
the restrictions are very minimal, so I dont think
restrictions are any issue
I just tried another experiement with a Lenovo Centrino
Laptop offsite
I booted on the LiveDVD with ethernet plugged in - it did
detect DHCP
now that I think of it, the machine at the lab may have
been a wireless
machine
both wireless networks have passwords..
booting the Lenovo laptop w/o ethernet, then choosing the
wireless
network worked
adding ethernet after that worked
so the wireless password has a lot to do with this..
sorry, the lab machine is a desktop so I didnt think of it
as wireless...
I would like to confirm in the lab

unfortunately I tried to look something up with
Firefox/Google now on
the Lenovo and FF crashed
re-opening FF and trying again, crashed
the crash reporter said "cannot report problem, Firefox is
not a
genuine Ubuntu package"
1GB of RAM it looks like...

Thanks.
Hopefully this issue is rarer than I thought.

For the record,
I did test a burned ISO, and was able to connect to the internet though
ethernet.
I didn't try wireless.
Yes, please raise a bug report as Alex suggests. Could you also include
appropriate "Network Tests" to ensure that the tests work appropriately.
Also, it would be good to update the Firefox home page, but I don't
think anyone has worked out how to do this automatically yet.
(Maybe we need to add a manual step into the build process).
