Hi,

I have 2 W2k domain in differents forest on the same phisical LAN, one server is the DHCP and DNS server for both domain.
The error i am getting when trying to set up the re trust is "cannont connect the other domain".
At this poing i have very clear that it is a DNS server configuration problem. Can anyone tell me how to configure the zones in both DNS to be able to do the trust? I am just starting to work with DNSs.

Thanks

First, at forward lookup zone create a new zone and make it Active Directory integrated and with allow dynamic updates (for DHCP if you use). This will create SRV records which function as a Domain Controller locator, otherwise in won't work.
Second, configure the reverse lookup zone.
Notice that DC's primary DNS server pointed to that one.
Later, check if the SRV records has been created. If so, you may build a trust relations between forests.
Good Luck...
