Hi,
I'm trying to connect 2 completely different windows 2000 domains. One
domain is located in CA, called abc.local and subnet is 10.10.1.0
255.255.255.0 AND other domain is located VA, called xyz.local and subnet is
10.10.2.0 255.255.255.0. They are connected using Full T1 Circuit.
How can I make both domains see each other and give trust permision.

Any help would appreciated.

Thanks

Are these in two separate forests and trying to create a trust?

If so, you'll need NetBIOS name resolution between them since what you're
trying to create is called an 'external trust" which is NTLM/NetBIOS based.
You can use WINS. Install WINS on both machines and make them replication
partners. Then in IP properties of your DCs and clients, advanced, WINS tab,
put the IP address of the local WINS server. Then once done, create the
trust.

Thank you so much for your information. Can I use lmhost file instead of
wins.

Yes you can.

Also read this...(a previous post)...
====================================
If I understand this correctly, I had the same problem.

Try creating entries in the LMHOSTS files on each server with the other
domains information. For example:
on Server01
<Server02 IP> <SERVER2NAME> #PRE #DOM:<DOMAIN2NAME> #Primary DC
<Server02 IP> "<DOMAIN2> \0x1b" #PRE
on Server02
<Server01 IP> <SERVER1NAME> #PRE #DOM:<DOMAIN1NAME> #Primary DC
<Server01 IP> "<DOMAIN1> \0x1b" #PRE

Note: The second lines have a SPECIFIC format:
<IP> "123456789012345*7890"
Use this as a template and make sure to replace the * with /. The number of
places and total length between quotes must match this template (20 places
total)...

Hope this helps!
