    I'm using IsInRole to determine a user's authority to use various features
    of a winforms application. Everything works fine while the client machine
    is connected to the network. However, when the application is disconnected,
    the authentication works with the cached credentials, but any attempt (using
    both IsInRole, and other methods) to access the groups that the user is a
    member of fails. The custom groups I have created do not show up.

    The client OS is Windows XP Pro with version v1.1.4322 of the framework.
    The principle is a WinNT 4 domain user.

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks,

    John
