Yeah, I know. I was just demonstrating what happens when a laptop configured as a member of the "HERE" domain can't find it's DC. IOW, it doesn't try to authenticate against the DC for the "THERE" domain. I wasn't trying to give an in depth explanation of the Windows world. That would take too much time, and I would confise myself. Not to mention, most people really don't care how it all works (when it works, that is :-)
