Hi,

I am trying to set up a VPN connection at work and have stumbled on a problem.

I have a Server with it's own domain 'XXX' which is on Windows 2000 DC, I have set VPN on this computer and it works well, however I also have a NT4 server withanother domain name 'YYY' which has all the files on it and want to be able to access them through the VPN tunnel.

I have been told I need to set up a 'Trust' between them, but everytime I try I get an error from the W2K server 'A D can't verify trust, other side doesn't exist yet.... The error returned was: The secure database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship'.

I don't understand what this means, could someone please tell me how to goabout getting the two Domain servers to communicate.

In the Win2k Server I have 2 network cards, No1 is on the same subnet as the NT4 PDC Server and No2 is on the ADSL subnet for internet access.

Thank you

Simon

Your getting Active Directory error messages.

Are you sure you built your 2000 server in mixed mode.

Otherwise you will not be able to create the trust.

If you are using wins , disable wins in bindings for one nic card. DC multihomed will cause issue when creating trust
