Hello,
Yesterday I was testing if an authenticated user can logon to a domain from
a computer in case network cable is disconnected. For my surprised I logged
on to domain. So I wanna know the scene behind it. How I was allowed to log
on. I am running Win2000 Active Directory and WinXP pro clients. Please tell
me in detail.

regards
