You guys need to be more specific about the MAC issue. A MAC address is a hardware address that is hard coded into your network card. The reason it could be an issue is that MAC filtering could be turned on. I don't know who set up your wireless, but in some instance, the wireless router is configured to only allow machines with certain MAC addresses to use the network. It is a crude way of preventing your neighbors from using your access point (totally ineffective btw....).

SoCal, plug your work computer into the home network, then type IPCONFIG from a command prompt. To get to a command prompt, type cmd from a run command and hit enter.

What do you see in the IP Address field?

192.168.x.x (x could be any number up to 254) ??

169.254.x.x ????
