hi
have a problem with trust
situation - have one domain in one office which is NT4. have another office in london, with seperate domain running 2003 server. I have a VPN link between the two and can ping both sides.
Initially when i set this up... i had set trusts up on both sides and they were all verified. Then something has happened not sure what... now i can not browse the domain or anything.. have removed the trusts to re add them and they can now not be re-added as can not find domain controller.
any ideas?
thanks in advance

the errors vary dependingo n what i try to do
setting the trust on NT side - it is unable to validate
setting up on 2003 - unable to contact domain controller.
can not browse to either domain
but doing start run \\2003 dc name... from NT side i get prompted for user name and password to connect sometimes.. and others an error about maximum connections receivedfrom 2003 typing run \\NT dc name.. it can not find it - saying something along the lines of trust relationship failed.
i can ping boths sides using dc names.
have added the following to each sides lmhosts
10.10.10.10 DC name #PRE #DOM:Domain-Name
10.10.10.10 "domain \0x1b" #PREwith making sure the spaces are correct and obviously changing the ip and names to the appropriate other side

Lots of articles on the MSKB.

Hope these help....

strange you never mention active directory problemchild. You can't have a trust between the two without it.
Lmhosts file??? Where's DNS? Sure doeesn't sound like you are running AD.

hi
am running AD on the 2003 side... and have made some entries in DNS to the NT side.
the NT side is not using DNS.

Perhaps this will help

hi
thanks for the suggestions.. have been through all the articles suggested but am still stuck.
perhaps ifyou explain what you would add to DNS.. as all i can find on the MS site is about using LMHosts.
thanks

thanks for everyones suggestions
finally got this working through tweaking LMhosts files further..... if anyone wants the details then you can mail me

Please send me the mail too. I've the same problem by trusting a domain from germany to a domain in england over a vpn.
thx
