Dark again: PEDANTIC I like, in these situations. It's necessary.
I went to Network Pane, Configure ipv4, chose Using DHCP with manual address, put in the address, Apply Now; went back to Configure ipv4, chose Using DHCP instead, hit Apply Now. No go.

Stripes,
OK, almost there I think. Can you try doing what I've suggested above again and then, without restarting, do what Dark suggested.
As NTLVictim says, the solution won't stick when you restart, but if cloning the ethernet ID works, then you can go back to NTL as it would indicate a definite problem on their end.
Hope everything goes OK at the hospital.
