Networking between two domains

[Sameer]

Hello,
We are having two different domains administrated by two Windows 2000
Servers.
The domain DOMAIN1 is having ip addresses in the range 192.168.0.1 to
192.168.0.25 and is connected by a switch.

The domain DOMAIN2 is having ip addresses in the range 192.168.10.1 to
192.168.10.20 and is connected by a hub.

A cross crimped cable connectes the hub and switch so that both the
domains can be connected.

How to communicate between computers of both domains?
I have to change the IP address of the computer which is going to be
conncted to the another domain and I have to give the password?

How can I avoid this?

If IP addresses are of different range i.e. 192.168.0.X and
192.168.10.X, how can we make the PC's to communicate which are in two
different domains?

Please help.

there are two issues here. 1. routing. You should have a router to connect two LANs.

2. domain trust.

Domain Trusts Transitive trusts establish a trust relationship between two domains that is ... For example, if domain A trusts domain B, and domain B trusts domain C, ...

I am experimenting with domain trusts.
I followed the steps as:
1) I opened 'Active Directory Domains and Trusts' tool of server of
DOMAIN1
2) Selected properties of DOMAIN1 domain
3) Selected Tusts tab and tried to add domain DOMAIN2 to 'Domains
trusted by this domain' by giving administrator password of another
domain
4) The error message is
'DOMAIN2 can not be contacted

5) Entire Network-> Microsoft Windows Network shows only DOMAIN1
and there is no another domain

Currently the only way to communicate between two domains is by
changing IP address of computer from DOMAIN1 to 192.168.10.X.

How to contact the two domains as said in the error message.
How to display both the domains in the Microsoft Windows Network?

Please help.
