A static IP address won't "renew." It is set manually until it is
either changed manually or changed to a dymanic address...that's why
it's called static.
When you get home, the first thing you should do is to change your IP
type to "obtain automatically via DHCP." You will then be instructed
to reboot and the NIC should then obtain an IP from the cable or DSL
company. If the work setup is as you describe, then the first thing
you should do when you go back to work is to manually input the IP
address assigned to your computer and reboot before you will be able
to get back on their network.
Good Luck...
