Dave, The user _should_ explicitly specify her domain as a part of Windows authentication process, because it may not necessarily be that of the host. One _could_ dynamically retrieve the logon credentials using Win32 API or Active Directory API, assuming this is the set of credentials user wants to be authenticating with, but that would imply the use of platform dependent code in your application
