assuming in the office you have domain network, at home you have workgroup
network, do you use DHCP? can you ping each other?

Assumgin your work uses DHCP..when you get home try
running these commands in DOS-

c:\ipconfig /release_all
c:\ipconfig /renew

Your problem to me, is work is assigning a gateway
address which you obviosly dont have at home. So running
this command will assign the proper gateway.
