thank you for answering me.

more details:

the first time that i try to install the certificate from the root (on the
child) i get the message "The format of the specified computer name is
invalid." If i try again it says "The data is invalid. 0xd (13)".

i followed this document to install and configure the two CA servers:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q271386
i installed stand-alone, not enterprise CAs.

the child CA is an advanced server updated with all the patches
(a.f.a.i.k.). the root CA is also updated with all the necessary patches.
other (new installed and fully patched) server (not advanced) can install
the certificate from root CA and start the certificate service. the servers
have internal dns names; the internal dns domain isn't registered as a
Internet domain name.

i modified the CRL distribution point and Authority Information Access of
root CA to an external DNS name address (this address has an Internet IP
address, assigned to an external interface on a ISA server; ISA server is
using Web Publishing to publish the web pages with .crt and .crl files of
the root and child CAs, in diferent folders/pages). but i tried also with
internal ip addresses as CRL distribution point and Authority Information
Access and is not working either. i deactivated all other locations (ldap,
share, etc.)

below is the request from child to root:

is there an utility to investigate the request? how can you do that?
thanks.
