Windows 2000 – NT4 Trust Problems

by kbrinneh . Updated 25 years, 4 months ago

We just upgraded our web server from NT4 to Win2K. The upgrade went smoothly except that I can’t re-establish trusts with our NT4 domains that are in a different subnet (and on different physical network). Here’s what I’ve done so far: 1) Created WINS entries for the new servers on the NT4 boxes, 2) Created WINS entries for the NT4 boxes on our Win2K box, 3) The 2000 domain is in mixed mode, and 4) Added the new 2000 domain to the list of “trusting domains” on the NT4 box. However, when I try to establish the relationship from the 2000 domain I get: The cannot be contacted….

The odd thing is that I was able to establish trusts with the NT4 domains that are in our subnet and on our physical network.

If anyone has solved this problem, I would be forever grateful if you could provide some assistance.
