"not a trusted connection", means what EXACTLY?

There's no explaination of this error on MS or any of the documentation that
I can find. Yes, I know some of the cases that cause it, but that's a
different issue entirely.
I'm getting this error on a new SQL Server install. All of the permissions
are copied from the older server. About 2/3rds of the machines in the office
can log in fine, but the other 1/3rd return this error. There is no obvious
difference between the machines. We use Windows Authentication for everythin
g.
So, does this error mean "I cannot verify you with the domain controller"?
Or perhaps "your domain credentials do no allow you to log in"? Or something
else entirely? Depending on the exact nature of the error, the steps to
correct it will be very different.This part of the error message mean that there is no trust (or the trust
cannot be confirmed) between the account thatt is logging in and the SQL
Server machine. The first part of the message is the most important. What
is the complete message that the users are getting?

No. I'm simply trying to set up the DSN in the Data Sources (ODBC) control
panel.|||Has the user logged onto the domain? Does the user account have an
associated SQL login?

u try to login using a
SQL server login.
