My network is Win2k, say that I have 2 domains (A and B)with different forests, but join the same wiring media, so from my pc I can reach both.
I joined domain "A", when I tried to join the other domain "B", I found that I disjoined from domain "A". Is there a way I can join both, so when I can log off from domain "A" and log to domain "B" without the need for disjoining from a domain and join the other every time? And also without creating trusts between the domains?

In short, no (at least not without 3rd party software), because Win2K uses computer accounts to authorize connection of a given computer to the domain. Without a trust relationship between the 2 domains, there is no way for one domain to recognize the account credentials issued by the other domain.
