I'm not sure if I got the full picture, but I'd assume you had the following situation:

A domain user is logging on to the console of your db server. However, due to a network problem the domain_controller is not available, so the local profile is used.

So far no problem, but when connecting to the database you don't get a connection. How is the db user defined? If you use external authentification, then the DB will try to authenticate your db user with a domain controler, but since the network is down, no domain controller available, it will refuse the connection.

If you connect via 'classic' user/passwd - I've no idea why this should fail ('cause it shouldn't).
