Drive Mapping "The Trust Relationship..." failed

I am attempting to connect to a machine's local drive (hidden share). When I try, I receive "The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed."
All machines are Windows XP, on a domain with Windows 2003 servers.
The machine is on the network and can access network resources.

Check that the server service on the workstation is started.

Is this all computers or just one?
Check the time and date on each computer in relation to each other and the server.  They should be no more then 5 minutes off.  If this is all correct, try unjoining the PC from the domain and then rejoining it.

I verifed the Server service is working. The system time/date is correct as well.
My biggest challenge is the machine is at a remote location. Removing/Rejoining from the domain will be difficult since there is no authorized personnel at the remote site to complete the task.

Before deciding the machine has to be sent in, I want to make sure I exhaust all attempts at fixing the machine were it is.
Have you tried connecting to the computer using local credentials, i.e. local administrator?
Try this:
\\targetpc\c$, then under credentials put targetpc\administrator and then the local admin password.  
Does it let you connect now?

I'll give it a try as soon as I can, I have to wait until the machine gets powered up.
