How Do I Get Mac To Cache Profiles When Not On Network

I have joined my MacBook Pro to my Windows 2008 domain and have been able to map network drive and access resources, while connected to the network.  The problem is when I am no longer connected to the network I can't login in with a cached profile.  I would like to be able to log in to my profile when I on the road and be able to edit the files on my desktop.

The first time you log on to the domain you were asked if you wanted to create a mobile account, did you answer yes to this?

Once you have a mobile account on your MacBook you can then log onto that account when disconnected.
Oh yes, you can also synchronise your network home folder with that on your laptop.

Thsanks.  So do I need to set up "MobileMe" account?  What happens if I have no Internet connectivity?
