Does it also occur if you are using computername\localusername for the

I can't imagine why entering the domain and username in one box in the
login
dialogue should behave any differently from entering the same information
in
two different boxes.

I have tested it and (as I expected) it does not seem to make any
difference.

I have several cases where a local account has the same name as a domain
account. There has never been a problem, as long as the user logs into the
correct account. For example, mydomain\jsmith or mycomputer\jsmith. You are
correct, the user can enter "jsmith" in the "User name:" field of the logon
dialog, and either "mydomain" or "mycomputer" in the "Log on to:" field.

Could something else be attempting to authenicate to the domain when you
logon locally, perhaps a logon script or a service?
