EEK! 1 user in company cannot connect Local Area Connection, but can at home

*User can connect wirelessly in the office, but CANNOT connect via wired Local Area Connection
*User CAN connect via wired Local Area Connection at home, without changing any configurations

*Status of connection reads "Acquiring network address"
*IPCONFIG shows "media disconnected" and "cannot repair connection if the media is disconnected"

*CAN connect via wired Local Area Connection if the IP address is set statically, but set it to "Obtain an IP Address automatically" and it won't connect

*DHCP is enabled
*IPCONFIG reads the same as mine, unfortunately it's not 192.168... which I believe means that we are not connecting to a router
*Flushed DNS

*This user has a TON of VPN connections, Windows and Cisco

Theorized that another machine on the network has the same IP address, but figured that that machine would be having serious issues.

Any ideas are much appreciated!
