I am trying to establish a Trust Relationship between two domains over a WAN. There is no problem in pinging either the ip address or the netbios name of the remote domain. I'm using LMHost files at both sides. They both contain that #pre, #dom etc.stuff which i believe is correct. I've checked this from the documents about it. ( Q180094,Q178640,Q245172 and some others ). Both of the domains can be seen in their own network neighborhood. After executing the nbtstat -R command at both sides, and then the nbtstat -c command, i could not see the remote domain. However the remote one could see my domain in the list. Enable LMHost lookup settings in the TCP/IP advanced settings are also correct. I'm not using Wins or DNS. What might be the problem ?

First, the #PRE and #DOM options MUST be in CAPS, so check that.

Since you say that they could see your domain, have you established the trust in the other direction. Remeber that NT trusts are only one-sided, and that to exchange information freely between the two domains, you need to establish two on-way trusts.

#PRE AND #DOM options were in caps.
Yes, they can see me, but unfortunately i tried an trust establishment both ways. No Way !

Can you successfully complete a NET USE command to a share on a server in that domain using an account in that domain?

i.e. NET USE * \\\sharename /USER:[domainname\]username

If this can't be done successfully, check to see thereis no filtering in place on the routers and/or firewall (if applicable)
