create domain trust over site to site vpn

[joe schmidt]

Hello,

I am trying to create a two way transitive trust between
two windows 2000 domains running active directory, and
connected via a cisco site-to-site vpn. Across the vpn I
am able to ping machiness via ip address, I am able to map
drives on servers via ip address, and I am able to browse
websites on the intranet via ip address not machine name.
I know that this is a DNS issue because neither network
has dns info on the other. When I create the trust it
tells me that the domain I entered does not exist. Also
the domain on the other end of the vpn does not show up in
my network places when I am browsing the network. I
contacted Cisco about this. They looked at my PIX configs
and said that they looked good and said that this is a
windows isssue. How do I solve this?

Let me know if you need any more info.

Thank you for your time,
Joe

You can to ensure you can resolve DNS Names of both domains from both sites.

SITE A --> Resolve SITEB.com
SITE B --> Resolve SITEA.com

This can be done by enabling forwarding between your two DNS Servers.
