How do I join two forests so that admins have access in both domains

I have set up trust relationships, but I get a message
when I verify the trust that the connection failed and
that the RPC server is unavailabe. When I try to add an
admin from one domain to the other, the message is that I
don't have permissions to make changes to the group. I am
totally perplexed. When I establish the trust
relationships, everything appears to be normal. This is
only happening on the 2000 forest trusts.
 
This is probably, because name-resolution problems on both ends. Both
domains have to resolve each other hosts trough DNS.

Pre-Windows 2003, inter-forest trusts were NTLM and WINS
based. Ensure you have WINS connectivity too. Also verify
the trust in both directions using the Domains and Trusts
snap-in.

WINS connectivity must have working for the trust to have
been established.
