I got a laptop with Windows 7 64-bit Enterprise, when it's connected to
the network, we can login ok. But when there is no network connection,
it hangs after entering the password at the Welcome screen. It seems
to looking for network connection. This seems to unique on this
machine, other computers have no problem with login even when it's not
connected to the network.

Any ideas what might be causing it to hang and how to go about
troubleshooting? Thanks.

Check to see if a group policy called something like "Always wait for
the network during computer startup and user logon" is enabled. On XP,
it is found in the Group policy editor under Computer Configuration/
Administrative Templates/ System/ Logon/; no idea if it exists on W7.

You want to enable "cached logon".

I modified it to 50, doesn't help with the issue. After a reboot it
seems to be not caching. I will try the other solution.
