Error on lab 28?

On lab 28 in the new Security+ 701 CertMaster Labs, when trying to log onto the Windows VM with Jaime I receive the error message:

The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed.

When logging in with Ethernet set to the default of vLAN_SERVERS.

If I switch to a different Ethernet selection, I can log in but don’t have any network connection and can’t do the lab. Is anybody else experiencing this problem?

I just submitted a ticket. I was wondering if anybody had a way around the error?

Thanks!
