Can't log on using cached credentials

[JB]

We have a laptop user who was unable to log on to his laptop last night
(off-line) and recevied the "domain not available" error. The user logged
on to the domain yesterday using that same laptop and that same account.
His password is a "never expire" password. The laptop is in a Laptop OU on
the domain which does not have any group policy that is preventing the user
(or any user) from using cached credentials. The laptop is running Windows
XP SP2 - and has been for some time.

Any suggestions?

Not sure, but I think once you logon locally you can't logon with cached
credentials until you logon to the domain again.

We have just recently experienced the same thing on three of our laptops
including mine. I had my laptop for 2 years and never had a problem logging
into it on or off the domain. Did you ever find out what is causing this?
