i think the wireless at your work filter computers based on their MAC address as a security measure hence you are unable to connect..
to find your comp's MAC address follow this:

From the Start button select Run

In the box which appears type cmd and click OK

A new windows will appear - at the prompt type ipconfig /all

The MAC address will be referred to as the Physical Address and is made up of 12 characters e.g. 00-D1-AB-F2-G3-89
You will have a separate MAC address for your wireless card and your Ethernet card. Make sure you use the correct one

do ask the admin of your work wireless system to add your comp's MAC address so that you are able to connect..
am no expert but love to help out...hope it helps you...all the best!
