THis sounds like an XP problem not a Samba specific problem. Once you
have logged onto the network you should then be able to logon
"offline." I would check Microsoft's support site, don't
include Samba
in your search strings. I would also run gpedit.msc on the XP machine
and see if there are any security settings that can adjust the caching.
I am pretty sure you can disable caching but I don't think it is
the default.
Gpedit.msc -> Local Computer Policy -> Computer Config -> Windows
Settings -> Security Settings -> Security Options
-> Interactive Logon: Number of previous logons to cache:
By default it is 10. I think that means it let the last 10 users to
logon on online also logon off line. I don't think it means that you
can only logon offline 10 times. (I have a laptop that I rarely
logon to in the office and I have not had problems.)
