Offline computer can login as Administrator on domain but not other users

I have a computer that is in another location from the office. It was on a domain and still needs to be part of a domain and we are trying to setup a VPN connection. The domain Administrator can login to the computer without being connected to the domain through the VPN. I setup the VPN, started it under Admin, added a new user off the domain, and tried to login. I cannot. I also cannot login with a past user that was already on the PC when it was connected to the domain.

Any clues on how I can get a user to authenticate without actually being connected to the domain?
This is a sonicwall tz 210 with VPN. The VPN works just fine.

pwindell - I assumed no doubt wrongly that this was either point-to-point or not standard windows VPN connections, curious if you know if you can use the "dial-up" setting with non-built-in vpn software as I have never tried it that way to know?

It just depends on it it shows up as an option Dialup Connection that you can pick from.  You'll just have to try it an see.   That is the fatal downfall of a lot of 3rd party products,...many times they want to act like and brag that they are better than Microsoft but then they turn around and fail in critical areas.
