Check with your sysadmin at the office to make sure all your settings
are identical to the ones necessary. Perhaps you changed your user
account? Perhaps you're not logging in exactly the same way you did
before? It's hard to say without seeing the machine, and that's why I
suggest you contact your office's IT Dept. They will know the necessary
settings the best.
