How to set up Trusted Domains within Same Network

[robros]

I am wondering where and how you set up one domain
to trust another to allow users to access one domain from another in an NT4.0 enviroment. Catch Me I AM FALLING

In User Manager for Domains, under the Policies menu, you have Trust Relationships.

In there you setup Trusting and Trusted domains. MCSE NT4/W2K

Thanks.. I attempted to add the domain but I am getting an error that states
Could not find Domain Controller for this domain.
However I can ping the PDC for the other domain and MY DOMAIN is set up as a trusting domain on the Domain I am trying to reach

Any other Ideas

Going it alone since all the cutbacks thanks for the help. Catch Me I AM FALLING

You're on the right track. Note a couple of things though, "ping" will test for connectivity, and works using DNS lookups. It will not test NetBIOS name resolution though, which is what the server needs to find the remote domain.

Do you have WINS installed on a server somewhere?
Does it have (in its database) the IP address of the remote domain you're trying to set up the trust with?

You can try adding a static entry temporarily to get the trust set up and in place. Although setting up replication between the two WINS servers would be a better idea.
