Fixing cabbage errors without access to router

Discussion

So, bear with me.

I'm in hospital (NHS, so no biggie) for a while, bored as fuck. I've got my laptop, they've got WiFi, so we've got a solution right? Upload/ download/ latency is fine on the connection, not best ever, but survivable for some boredom busting PvE.

I can log on fine, but loading in to any activity gives me a cabbage error which is a router setting. I don't have access to a vpn, or a virtual machine I could route through.

Anybody ever resolved these via any esoteric methods? I've got time on my hands and enough computer skill to be willing to try something pretty involved to get it to work!

you do have access to a vpn - pay for it, install the software, connect

I don't have access to a vpn. My laptop is used in my wfh setup, and installing a vpn would breach the terms of my wfh agreement with my employer, for reasons.

Unless the hospital's network security is poor, you are getting access to the router (and shouldn't). You can try using GeForce Now to stream D2.

I was tempted to try, but felt the NHS has enough to deal with without some bored muppet trying to get access to thier router so he could play destiny. Geforce is a good shout though, I'll try that.
