Default 'Work Offline' no longer prompting for credentials

When I select the 'Work Offline' connection state at Outlook startup, and I
subsequently attempt to perform a manual Send/Receive against an Exchange
Server, Outlook no longer prompts me for my account credentials. As a
result, the connection to the Exchange Server fails. Outlook *does*
correctly prompt me for my credentials when I select the 'Connect' state at
Outlook startup.

Any ideas why Outlook would "suddenly" stop prompting for credentials when
using offline mode only?

My workaround has been to select the Connect mode at Outlook startup to
force the prompt for credentials, and then immediately switch to offline
mode for the rest of my Outlook session. (The problem only occurs with the
very first Send/Receive invocation.)

Another diagnostic: My corporate laptop does not exhibit this behavior when
used on my same home network. I have compared and re-compared the Outlook
configurations, and I cannot find any difference.

General Environment:
- home computer where problem exists = Outlook 2003 on Windows XP
Professional
- laptop computer with no problem = ditto
- first Exchange Server 2003, and same problem still exists after upgrade
to Exchange Server 2007
- all patches and updates applied to all systems/applications
