I have setup and verified the trust between two domains on different subnets. But the problem I am having is that I cannot browse the other domain and vice-versa.

I get the following error message.
Unable to browse the selected domain because the following error occurred:
Could not find domain controller for this domain.

I can map drives, ping any machine by name from either domain. Its just that when I try to browse users from the other domain I get the following.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

hummm need clarification on 2 domains 2 different subnets, both running AD? both withint the same forest? do both have DCs? and what trust? There's one way, two way transitive and is this W2003 server W2K server or NT server or a combination thereof? Also you mention browse are you trying to browse for computers in my network places/entire network?

The two domains are on different subnet and both are running AD. They have trust established two way. Trying to browse through network neighbourhood I get the error.

Thanks !

That's a pretty complex question. The first thing I would do is to make sure your DNS server(s) zone configurations are setup correctly. Also if you use WINS, you'll need to check if the push/pull partner is set up correctly.

Good Luck!

I think everything is setup correctly as I can ping by name , address and can do reverse lookup as well.

Make sure that the DC's see the appropriate DNS server containing the domain records. If they see the correct DNS server, then the problem may be that there is no SRV records in the DNS zones. In this case, stop and start Netlogon services at Win2K domain controllers so that they will register their SRV records to the DNS servers.
