I'm working in a temporary location. We have a single network drop.
We have a D-Link 5 port switch plugged into the drop, and two desktop computers plugged into the switch without any issues.
Trying to add a 3rd machine (a laptop) results in a error when we try to log in:
"The security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship"
If I unplug the cable from the switch, and plug it in directly to the wall, then I can log in.
Neither of the other two machines, plugged into the same switch, have this problem. I've tried switching around the ports, different cables, and a different, brand new 8 port switch, and nothing helps: unless plugged directly into the wall, the laptop cannot log in.
Any ideas?

Not really the issue - there isn't actually a problem with the domain controller or the local settings, since changing the way the machine connects to the network fixes the problem. – chris – 2012-04-16T16:43:59.553
Well - I figured I had nothing to lose by trying these, and strangely enough it appeared to have fixed the problem. No idea why having a switch in the network path would affect this, though. – chris – 2012-04-17T02:43:13.483
