I'm assuming your work domain is a windows network. No personal experience but see here

If your still haveing this issue, open /etc/nsswitch.conf as root and modify line:
hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4

move dns before mdns4_minimal so that it reads:
hosts: files dns mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] mdns4

Can you help with this problem?
