That likely means that when you connect from home, you cannot talk to the
corporate domain server or you are ion a different domain.  The domain
part is only shown when it isn't the primary domain IIRC and since the
numerical user instead of the name is shown, that SID did not resolve.

Depending on how this is set up in your domain, you might need to point
either Cygwin or sshd to use a separate local directory.  You have no
network access on Windows (i.e. you won't be able to access any fils
shares) until you've authenticated with a password.

You would need to be either an admin and/or the user who installed
Cygwin for that to work, but you shouldn't do that.

If Cygwin doesn't know who you are, then that means Windows doesn't know
either, so fixing this on the Cygwin side won't get you much further.
