Default Network Connection Trouble

I am trying to connect Vista Ultimate to our network at the office.
I have tried both wireless and a local (wired).
The wireless connection works fine at home.
I have network discovery turned on and the network and sharing center shows
that I have a connection to the internet. I can open msn.com, but when I
select a link on the page it won't open the link. If I look a a full netwok
map it shows all the computers on the network plus the connection to the
internet.
I have tried diableing the firewall on the lap top also.

Does anyone have an idea why I am not connection properly?

Default Network Connection Trouble

What's the error message when you click the link? If this is workgroup network, how do you enable the sharing?

Default Network Connection Trouble

I am not getting any error when I select a link. The page just continues to
try to load.
This is a workgroup network, I didn't administer the network.
According to Vista, I do have a connection to the internet, It shows the
connection in Network and Sharing window.

Thanks Matt
