I did what you suggested but still I am out of luck. I think the problem is that the IP 128.1.0.8 is only for internal use on their (customer) network.
I think I read about it somewhere that some IPs are reserved for the internal use. Yet they gave it to me for connecting from internet.
Thank you for the suggestion anyway.
