Trust Relationship between two different forests

[Guest]

Hello everybody,

I’ve been trying unsuccessfully to create a trust relationship between two
Domain Controllers that reside in two different forests in my LAN:
server1.domain1.local and mailserver.office.finance.com.ve.

Server1.domain1.local runs Windows 2000 Server and the ARCServe backup
software.

Mailserver.office.finance.com.ve runs Windows 2003 Server and Lotus Notes.

I want to create a trust relationship that allows me to backup Lotus Notes
on my tape drive in Server1.Domain1.local

Every time I try to create the trust relation ship from
Server1.Domain1.local A message appears saying that it can’t not contact
Mailserver.office.finance.com.ve. The two servers reside in a LAN their IP
addresses are in the same scope.

Can somebody help me to troubleshoot this issue?

Thanks in Advance.

Do the two forests have the others dns as a secondary? This is the easiest
way for name resolution.

To add to Paul's answer, after you configure a secondary zone for each
domain in the other's DNS, you will need to reference the other using it's
fqdn, or manually add the DNS suffix on the DNS tab in TCP/IP properties..
