RE: Computer logs on to different DC

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Does the DC on the local subnet host DNS/DHCP?
Could you post info from ipconfig /all command.

You could also check the SRV records in DNS to check that there is one for
the local DC, DHCP should provide this i think...
