Many thanks Wesley

Maybe I've posted in the wrong place but don't see Windows 2003 server standard edition forum.

I'll try to explain me better.
The two sites that want to establish the trust relation, both use Windows 2003 server standard edition
each one working as forest root domain controller.

We work on a hardware VPN implementation, so we can ping each subnet.
One site: 192.168.11.x
other site: 192.168.10.x

We would like to work with the other external domain.

Both have configured the DNS for LAN name resolver and add forwarders to the other site.
Both sites have referenced the other site in Active Directory Sites and Services, its subnet and site-link.
When tried to establish a forest two-way trust relation with credentials we get the error reported
on my first mail.

Maybe I'm working in the wrong way.

Thanks again
