Trust Relationship?

We have an NT workstation that is giving the following message when we try
to log on:  "System cannot log you on to this domain because the system's
computer account in its primary domain is missing or the password is
incorrect".  This message appears when we try to log on to the domain or
the computer itself, and also appears when we try to log on without the
network connection attached.  It appears when we try to log on as
administrator or the user.

When we click on this particular workstation on the server, under Server
Manager for Domains, we get a message that says "the trust relationship
between this workstation and the primary domain failed."  I have tried
removing and adding the computer name, but that did not help.

The only way we seem to be able to get into the workstation at all is when
the server was down briefly -- the workstation logon worked, but it said
the primary domain controller could not be found.  However, I don't know
how to fix the problem even if I can get into the workstation.

I've called technical support and they haven't been able to help as of yet.
 Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Kathy Kern Bowman
