Changing local password causes access denied when using RAS on domain

Hi all
We have a W2K domain, with some W2KP remote users. Our domain has no password expiry, but the remote laptops have passwords set to expire once a year. The laptop users have changed their local machine passwords. When they want to log into the domain via RAS, their DUN shortcut has their domain credentials already filled in, these haven't changed. They can connect fine with these credentials. However, they get an 'incorrect username or password' message and are asked for their credentials again when they try to read a network resource. Surely the Domain resource should be reading the username/password they supplied to Dial-up networking? If it's saying the password is wrong it must be reading their local password which seems crazy to me.
Is this a bug or by design? Is there a fix or a workaround (other than changing the domain password to match)
thanks
Andy.
