When you are away from your domain and using PPTP to access internal
network resources, what are you logged on as on your laptop?  Are you
logging on as a domain user using cached credentials?

On my mobile hosts, I log in as a local user and have XP transmit my
logon credentials only when connecting to my domain resources.  I
haven't had a problem with it, and I'm even running SP2 on some.

Recently though on one of my XP SP2 hosts I've gotten the really
ambiguous error saying that there are no logon servers found, etc
etc... I've read a few articles and it's like window's all-in-one
error which anything could've gone wrong.  I did some research and
read a few articles today about WINS and maybe that will help my
remote hosts "find" the PDC.

So I'm not sure I really have a solution for you.  All I find is that
when a mobile client can't see the PDC, all hell breaks loose >_<
