Installed the latest Ethereum windows client , both in home and office network . I see subtle differences when its mines with Testnet.
When in office , I see it always mines new blocks and in home network it starts importing as the immediate next steps. In office network its is not connected to testnet outside as i don't see any peers connected. while in home i see peers connected and it tries to download the whole blocks .
As i use ethereum client to acess both nodes , Why am i unable to connect to other peers in office . I do understand their will be firewall issues , but then my node should not mine itself . I am not clear on why its self mining when its not connected out .
Logs below
