Start with the basics:
1 can you ping the remote machine by IP address?
2. Can you ping the remote machine by name?
3. Have you tried to set up an lmhosts file to help the two DC's find each
other.?
see:
180094 How to Write an LMHOSTS File for Domain Validation and Other Name
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=180094
The two DC's have to find each other before you can set up a trust.
