Failure to Connect Locally when Offline

Hi guys,
I sent this same message to the connection newsgroup, but I thought it
wouldn't hurt to post it here too.
We use replication, so a few clients connect to the network database,
and sometimes to MSDE on their computer when outside the office. They use
their domain Windows account to connect to both.
Here what is happening, they are able to connect fine to MSDE when they
are in their office, but when they leave the office, they can no longer
connect locally. They still use their domain account when they are offline.
Any idea why this would happen?
Thanks,
Maer
Is there a chance that MSDE cannot verify the domain account when they are
offline?
