It still sounds like the W2003 domain controller can not find the NT4.0
domain controller per your error message. Did you try the lmhosts file on
the W2003 domain controller and double check that the it is in the netbios
name cache via nbtstat -c ??Are there any pertinent messages in the Event
Viewer of either domain controller that may provide a clue? Did you try
disabling digitally sign communications "always"?? --- Steve
