Is it a 192.168 address at work? If not, you are going to have to tell
it
to use DHCP.
And please don't top post.
Then
$ service NetworkManager stop
$ vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
BOOTPROTO="dhcp"
# IPADDR=whatsit
:wq
$ service network restart
As root (#). I only say this because your prompt looks like regular user ($). Some companies that issue laptops typically do not give up the admin rights. So he may be SOL unless he decides to reconfigure his router at home to dole out IP addresses similar to the one he has at work...
