Sorry I have two sites with the same Netbios name. One
site is running NT4 and the other Win2K3, because of the
same name I cannot establish a trust between the 2 sites.
It couldnt contact the DC of my site, which is all local.
I had a tech from MS work on it for a few hours with no
luck. Id like to know what other options I have availlable
aside from scrapping the whole thing and starting over!!
