Hi

I have a problem creating a domain trust between an windows 2000 AD
and a windows 2003 AD.

I ve setup DNS on each side to have a secondy dns of the other domain.
pinging each side the other works also. they re not on the same lan,
but this should not be the problem.

On the win2003 side the trust creation seems to work. On the w2k side
it claims that the remote pdc is not responding.

I found an old nt4 tool LNTEST on my nt resource cd and checked if
I can "see" the PDC on each side ( nltest /dcname:w2kdomain ) . On the
win2003 side it works. On the w2k side it works for itself but not for
the win2003 ad. Error is:
NetGetDCName failed: Status = 2453 0x995 NERR_DCNotFound

I think the problem must be somewhere on the w2k side, but I don t
know where.

I also tried to to fill lmhosts like in good old days but this helped
me neither.

perhaps you can give me a hand where i can start searching again.

Thanks

Daniel Herren
