It's possible that you have it higher, or for laptops it works somehow 
different.

Number of previous logons to cache (in case domain controller is not 
available)

Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local 
Policies\Security Options
Description

Determines the number of user logons to a Windows domain that are cached.

Windows 2000 caches previous users' logon information locally so that 
they will be able to log on in the event that a domain controller is 
unavailable during subsequent logon attempts. If a domain controller is 
unavailable and a user's logon information is cached, the user will be 
prompted with a dialog that reads:

A domain controller for your domain could not be contacted. You have 
been logged on using cached account information. Changes to your profile 
since you last logged on may not be available.

If a domain controller is unavailable and a user's logon information is 
not cached, the user is prompted with this message:

The system cannot log you on now because the domain <DOMAIN_NAME> is not 
available.

In this policy setting, a value of 0 disables logon caching. Any value 
above 50 will only cache 50 logon attempts. For servers, this policy is 
defined by default in Local Computer Policy and the default value is 10 
logons.
