the Arubu might be in access point mode. tough to know since your work provided it.
If its in AP mode, you won't need to use the DMZ option.
You could potentially use it for your work computer as then it'll automatically forward the data to it.
I'd hold off on the passthrough mode because if the aruba isn't in router mode, nothing will be managing dhcp/nat if you put the netgear in passthrough mode.
