You have just received a new laptop that you will use on your company network and at home. The company network uses dynamic addressing, and your home network uses static addressing. When you connect the laptop to the company network, everything works fine. When you take your laptop home, you cannot connect to devices on your home network or to the internet. Required:
What could have been the reason for that?

The network address can be the reason. You need to modify it so you can have access.

I’d say a network drop is the answer in this case.

A drop is a connection point in a network. There are those typical wall mounted plate outlets with an Ethernet jack that look like sockets that a computer or any other device in a network can plug into. A drop cable is used to connect a computer’s NIC card to these wall plates.
