Are you under the impression that dialing in to your home DSL account will
be faster? If so, you are mistaken. You will still not connect any faster
than your modem will allow.

To answer your question, your computer at work needs to access a DHCP server
to get an IP address. Your computer at home is not set up to do this. The
fact that you posted your question demonstrates that you do not have an
understanding of networking and how networking "works".
