About Windows 2000 Domain

Buy and install a router, use oe of you net 2000 servers are a router, use a level 3 switch. Build a bridge. There are many solutions, the one that seems best here would be to add an addtional NIC to a server box than enable RRAS on the sever. Sinceall your WS are Win2k Kerberos authentication will work, than enable your shares, set permisissions and your in business.

There are two parts to this answer: Physical connectivity and access permissions.

Because you haven't given us any idea of your physical layout, I can't give you any suggestions here other than saying that you MUST have a means of routing betweenthe 2 subnets (either locally or across the Internet)(otherwise nothing else you do will work).

Once you get to the point where the subnets can communicate with each other, you can configure the access permissions part of the problem. This can be done using trust relationships. A trust relationship means that the trusting domain will accept as authentic any user credentials authenticated by the trusted domain. A trust relationship must exist in both directions to meet your requirements
Are both these domains by chance part of the same Active Directory forest? If so, then 2-way trust relationships are automatically created between all domains in an AD forest. If these 2 domains are in different AD forests, you will have to create trust relationships between the 2 domains in the same way that it was done in NT4.

The trust relationship does not automatically allow access to resources in another domain. The domain administrator of the trusting domain must set up access permissions for users/groups in the trusted domain, in the same way he does for users/groups in his own domain. The domain administrator in one domain doesn't automatically get administrator privileges in the other domain.

Hope this makes sense.

Use a router. Easy to manage.

Good Luck Lee
