Workgroups not visible

All

I have the following problem which I am not sure how to fix.

We have a Windows 2000 Active Directory (Native Mode) domain which is all
working fine.

When a Laptop user logs on (login in to the domain, not the machine) all
works fine.

When the user goes home (for example) and logs on (leaving it as login in to
the domain not the machine) they are unable to see their home network (a
workgroup of computers not a domain).

If they log on to a local account (they login to their machine not the
domain) all works fine.

Please can anyone help me with this. Am I right in thinking that this is an
authentication issue?

Please help

When they log onto the "domain" while at home, their laptop is using a
cached set of credentials. In that circumstance the home network will be
invisible. The correct workaround is indeed to have them log on with a
local account.

Does this mean that they should log on locally even when in the office?

Not unless you want them to log on "off the domain" while at work. At work,
log onto the domain; at home, log onto the local box.
