Server 200 Domain and Server 2003 Domain

We currently have two separate domains call them Domain1 and Domain2. They
are separate tress and do not even know either one exisits. We have them
both on different subnets and route traffic between them via a router.

My question is this. We now have a need to have users in Domain2
(Server2003 domain) connect to resources in Domain1 (Server 2000 domain). We
can do this as it stands without the trusts...kind of....but it prompts for
credentials. Is there a way to set up a TRUST between these two domains so a
logon prompt will not popup every time a user attempts to connect to
resuorces on domain1 from domain2? In some cases users are even getting the
access denied message when attempting to access resuorces from Domain2 to
Domain1.

If more information is necessary please let me know.

I thank you all in advance for your time assisting me with this.

If you set up a trust then you shouldn't get the pop up since the trusting
domain can provide access to objects by assigning the credentials from the
trusted domain. This is one of the reasons people use trusts, it should
provide seamless access to objects in foreign domains.

Thank you Paul,

I figured there had to be a way for our 2000 domain to trust the 2003
domain. Just wanted to verify this. All the documents I have found so far
only talk about 2000 to 2000 and 2003 to 2003 not 2000 to 2003 so I was
getting a bit miffed.

Thank you again.

I have created NT4 - 2003 trusts

Here is a link to a forest trust setup. Just make sure the two domains have
dns access to one another. Easiest is just to make each others dns a
secondary of one another.

As Paul suggests, you need name resolution between the domains before you
can establish a trust. Be careful of port filtering on the router and refer
