We have 2 sites connected by a kilo stream link. The problem I have is after I set up the trust relationships between the 2 sites all is well for about 2 days, but then for no apparent reason the trust relationship is broken and I have to reastablish it .
The administer password on the 2 sites is different is this OK or could that cause a problem .
Any help would be greatly accepted

A trust relationship involves traffic between the sites. It may be that the link was down or slow for a while.

The passwords can be different, but each server must know the password for the other. Note that the admin account is NOT the right account for maintaining a trust relationship, since (hopefully) you change the password to that account frequently. You should have an account with admin rights specifically for this, with an unguessable password.

Have you looked at the event viewer logs? If the relationship died there should be a record of it.

Good luck.
