You cannot establish a trust between Win2000 FORESTS, but only
between the individual domains of one forest and a single domain
(per trust) of the other forest.

External trusts are dependent on NetBIOS name resolution.

Usually such problems are due to NetBIOS name resolution but it
isn't clear why it would work in one direction and not the other.

Do you have more than one Subnet? If so you need WINS server
AND you need all of the machines, especially DCs, to be WINS
clients of the same WINS database (database= replicated set of
WINS Servers.)
