Office 97 pulls from network when dialed up

[Captaingrunt]

Loaded NT4.0 ghost image on laptop. When logged on local I access office97 local. When dialed up from home into company network office 97 suite pulls from the server. Tried uninstalling Office and reinstalling and same thing. Everytime dialed in pulls office from the network. Is there any way to disable this so that I can access Office locally even when dialed up?
