Can’t communicate 2000 to 2003 server

by chriswilds1 . Updated 19 years ago

I have a 2000 Advanced Server and 2003 Advanced server that I can’t establish a Trust on either machine.

Pretty much anything I do on either machine I get “domain unavailable or can’t be contacted”.

Both are running at Windows 2000 Mixed Mode, both running DNS, both DHCP (their own high/low piece of the same subnet), both on same segment, both can ping each other and so on.

Both have fully qualified domain names, one of which is totally fake, and one of which is an added level to my domain that exists in the real world.

Is having a sub-level of a real-world domain out there killing me off, or is it something else? I haven’t figured out yet how to change my 2000 server DNS domain without reinstalling it.

I think I’ve even plugged in the fake/real world DNS in Hosts with no help there.
