I have no idea what you are connecting to wirelessly, it could even be another company in the same building running a wireless router. You can't expect Knoppix to connect wirelessly, when many wireless card makers will not supply drivers for anything except windows or even give out technical details on the hardware to allow Linux drivers to be written. Some wireless hardware is supported, but it's only a small percentage.

So that gets me back to my advice for your wired connection; talk to your IT department about what's different when you try to connect from the different locations.
