It sure sounds like your host file points localhost to a server at your work, rather than to 127.0.0.1... or you're running a server on your laptop that needs stuff from your work LAN to function...

I have a very strange problem. If anyone has an insight please let me
know.

When my laptop is docked in my office I have no problem using
mssql_connect to the SQL server running on localhost. When I take my
laptop home I get the following error:

        Warning: mssql_connect() [function.mssql-connect]: Unable to
connect to server: localhost

But something like "osql -S localhost -U sa -P <passwd>" works fine!

If I connect to my office from home using checkpoint secure client then
I can connect to localhost! If I'm not connected to my office then I
can't connect to localhost.

I am using XAMPP 1.6.2 on windows xp professional SP2.
