If it's a windows 2000 client you just set them up to login to the domain as
normal.
Connect the laptop to the network and get them to login once. That will cause
the client to cache their credentials locally.
The next time they login when not connected to the network, they still need
to select that they are logging into the domain, but the client will use
cached crdentials instead of contacting the server.
