Re: Problem establishing 2 way trust on Windows 2003 Domain Controller

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

I agree with Robert. If the DCs are on routed subnets you'd need WINS for
netbios resolution, but of course W2K3 does not want WINS, but DNS. can you
ping by fqdn? There are a couple of options. You could create a secondary
zone to the other domain on each domain's DNS server, or you could forward
each to the other's.
