What you need to do is to be certain (ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN!) that you have an
Administrator ID and password for the computer when it is off the domain.
In order to test the assumption that you do, log onto the computer using the
Administrator ID and password that you have, but instead of selecting the
domain logon instead use the pull-down box to select the local machine logon
instead. If you can log on this way you may proceed, otherwise you may not
until you can.
Once you can log onto the local computer (not the domain account) you can
remove the computer from the domain even if it is not connected to the
domain. You will get an error message that the computer has been removed
from the domain but that its account could not be deleted. That's fine.
Now log on as the local Administrator and you may configure the network as
you desire.
