   Because when they do a local logon to their machine, they use a local
account. This will only give them access to machines on the LAN if it
exactly matches a valid account on the LAN. That means either a valid domain
account or an account which is valid on that particular server (depending on
your LAN setup).

    The server on the LAN checks the client's credentials, and if they are
not sufficient, requests a username/password.
