I disconnected the ethernet.  I am logging in as the user for domain 
HOME.  I get the error:

"The system cannot log you on now because the domain HOME is not available."

Before all this, if I did not have network connectivity, I could still 
log in locally.  Hmmm, let's try disconnecting the server instead...  No 
dice as the server is also the DHCP server.

Next let's stop smb and nmb on the server, but leave it connected....  
Just took longer, but still no login.

So now why is it requiring the domain to be present to log in.  No local 
log in?

So I restarted the services and got logged in.

If I log in locally as administrator, is there anyway to copy another 
user's files and settings?
