Dear all,

I have 2 domains in 2 subnets connected via a gateway
I have accounts of the same name in both domain

Now when I'm logging in to the first domain, I'd like to access to a share folder in a server of the second domain, with permissions as my own account on this second domain

What need to be done to do this ?
TIA

Actually, we had set up a trust relationship as you had adviced. The problem was that the gateway machine between the two domains had some denying rules for some of the packets between the domain servers (on ports > 1024).
We need to relax some ofthese firewall before we can do the access cross domain.
Thank you for your help anyway

Connect to a server in the other domain and authenticate as a user in that domain after you already logged into your local (NT BASED ONLY!!!) system.

Log in normally to domain 1.

Open a dos window and type 'net use \\ServerInDomain2\ShareName /user:domain1\username'
then hit enter. Then you will be prompted for a password, and now you are connected to the other domain as the user in that domain. Your NT-based sytstem should cache those credentials for all further contact to that domain.

This WILL NOT work on 9x or ME based machines.
