My laptop connects wirelessly to my office network but
although it picks up a strong wireless signal at home
from my ADSL router I can't see my home network or
connect to the Internet. I've changed it from my work
domain to my home workgroup but I don't know what else to
try. It doesn't connect wired either. Any help would be
much appreciated!
 
Your IT support staff at work will need to help you with this.

Sarah,

do you have Service Pack 2 installed? You can check this by
right-clicking on My Computer and selecting Properties. Does it
say Service Pack 2 there?

If so, then you may have to check the firewall. Please see
