Windows 2000 Trust Relationship

As Windows 2000 domain activity is purely DNS based, I assume you are trying to create a trust between win2k and an NT4 domain (if not, then the answer is simply yes). If the nt4 domain already has wins, then the simplest method is to add the wins server address to the 2000 dc's. This will allow the domain controllers in each domain to locate each other. Let me know if this is not the scenario you are facing by rejecting this mail.....

I don't see the relation between trusts and WINS/DNS.
You want to establish a trust between a w2k dc?
Go to Administrative tools, Active Directory Domains and Trusts and add a trust to the domain you want. This will be a one way trust, either you trust the other domain (users in that can access your domain) or the other domain trusts you (users in your domain can access the other one).
A two-way trust is configured on both domain controllers with the same password (you choose the password).More info? Let me know.

You should not have to enable WINS simply for the fact that Windows 2000 doesn't needed it unless you have legacy clients. By default a Windows 2000 domain will trust another Win2k domain in the same forest. If this is not the case you will have to use the netdom utility that is on the windows 2000 CD, You will have to install the support tools and then use the netdom command line. Hopefully this helps.
