Taka,

Does your work network provide DHCP services?

If not, you will never get an address.  I have a static address at my 
work.

Additionally, some wireless networks, for security reasons, do not 
allow ad-hoc clients.  This means that the IT folks will need add your 
card's MAC Address (or Ethernet Address for en1 in Network Preferences, 
it will look something like this - 00:3d:65:b5:15:4e) to the wireless 
router so you can be recognized and given an IP address.
