hi

I am having a complete nightmare with creating trusts... story so far....

situation - have one domain in one office which is NT4. have another office in london, with seperate domain running 2003 server. I have a VPN link between the two and can ping both sides.

Initially when i set this up... i had set trusts up on both sides and they were all verified. Then something has happened not sure what... now i can not browse the domain or anything.. have removed the trusts to re add them and they can now not be re-added as can not find domain controller.

the errors vary dependingo n what i try to do
setting the trust on NT side - it is unable to validate

setting up on 2003 - unable to contact domain controller.

can not browse to either domain
but doing start run \\2003 dc name... from NT side i get prompted for user name and password to connect sometimes.. and others an error about maximum connections received

from 2003 typing run \\NT dc name.. it can not find it - saying something along the lines of trust relationship failed.

i can ping boths sides using dc names.

have added the following to each sides lmhosts

10.10.10.10 DC name #PRE #DOM:Domain-Name
10.10.10.10 "domain \0x1b" #PRE

with making sure the spaces are correct and obviously changing the ip and names to the appropriate other side

I am starting to think that my problem on the 2003 side may be DNS... what exactly do i need to add to make sure the NT domain can be contacted....

any help with this headache would be great
thanks

Not sure if this will be of any help but in the below link they talk about setting up External Trust between NT4.0 and Server 2003 around pages 20 to 23
