Using Windows Authentication to access SQL Server from non-domain

We have SQL Server 2000 installed on Windows Server 2003 SP 1. The server is
a member of a domain.

We have developers on workstations not part of the domain who need to use a
Trusted Connection to access a database on the server. I've read some other
posts that suggest this is possible. The developers created a local account
on their workstation with the username/password credentials that match those
of a domain user. When logged in under that account on their local
workstation, I believe they should be able to establish a trusted connection
to SQL Server using Enterprise Manager. But the authentication fails with the
message "Logon failed for user '(null)'."

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

That's not quite right.  The users should create a local account with
username and password matching a _local_ account on the server, not a domain
account.
