What you could do is run dhcp-relay on your laptop and configure from
the laptop. You'd have to tell the relay where you were of course...

But you're right, it's really a question of getting your sysadmins to
turn the 192 dhcp server off (or at least give you a static mapping on
the 142 dhcp server).
