I work at a school which has two domains. They are set up with trust relationships both ways. One is Admin, for staff only, and the other is primarily for students. Both main servers run NT4. I have put another server on the network, W2K Adv Server, as an Intranet server. It is a member of the Admin domain, but if you log onto the Admin Domain, you cannot browse the Intranet. If you log onto the students domain, you can browse the Intranet on the new server without problems. I have tried changing the domain over so that the Intranet server is a member of the students domain, but then I get the reverse issue, with students unable to access the site.

Can anyone help please?

this sounds more like a ip address issue then a authenication one. Different subnets for each domain?

No - IP address is fine. Each machine can ping the other without issue. First place I checked.

ping is a good start. How about ping by name?

Since W2K can, at best, be a member server of a domain and has its own account database I can't see domain membership being the issue. Especially when users in the domain it is in can't access but the trusted domain users can.

That sounds like some kind of policy going into effect.

Instead of joining a domain make the server going a workgroup called Admin [same as the domain name. Not being a domain member would mean no domain policies or restrictions.

When it was in the admin domain and students could get to it, what was the error when admin domain users tried to access? could they browse to it? have you checked your dns/wins entries for this machine?
