Need Help Connecting Multiple Win2k Servers Various Sites

[rgomez1999]

We have several sites that have Windows 2000 Server with Active Directory that we need to let communicate with each other. Some of our sites only have DSL connections with 1 static IP and the others have dedicated T1. In the next few months we will be putting in a frame relay. While we wait I need to do a temp solution. Now I've already created just a test for 2 sites the LMHOST file. For example:

Site #1
=======
Domain Name: justatest
Server Name: development
Server IP Address: 66.112.58.20
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.128
Gateway: 66.112.58.1
DNS 1: 66.10.66.23
DNS 2: 66.10.66.39

The LMHOST I have in this server says:
209.148.150.30 #PRE #DOM:techdept
209.148.150.30 "techdept \0x1b" #PRE

Site #2
=======
Domain Name: techdept
Server Name: server
Server IP Address: 209.148.150.30
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.128
Gateway: 209.148.150.1
DNS 1: 209.20.50.35
DNS 2: 209.20.50.43

The LMHOST I have in this server says:
66.112.58.20 #PRE #DOM:justatest
66.112.58.20 "justatest \0x1b" #PRE


I would like to know if what I did is correct and if so, what do I need to do next to have these two machines linked up so that I can share files, etc..

The reason I need to do this is because we just purchased biometric time card machines and the HR Office needs to connect to these machines but it fails each time. The ports on the firewall are opened for the machines and I can ping them at remote sites but I can't access them. The manufacturer told me that I have to create a two way trust between each of my sites and that currently I only have one way trust.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Everything seems fine..GO to Active Directory Domain and Truts, and type the IP address of the other site Server to do the two way Trust relationship (make sure your account has the rights to do it)Overall seems that's the only thing you need to do. A+, MCP, CCNA

Keep fighting for your knowledge!

Hi, thanks for replying. I tried what you suggested on both of my remote servers and I got the following error mesage which basically was the same on both servers with the exception of IP Address:

The IP address domain cannot be contacted. If this domain is a Windows domain, the trust cannot be set up until the domain is contacted. Click Cancel and try again later. If this is an interoperable non-windows kerberos real and you want to set up this side of the trust, click ok.

Is there something I didn't do? Thanks!
