Cannot establish trust 'tween 2000 & 2003 domain

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.active_directory (More info?)

Herb was exemplary in helping me remove metadata from my domain. This is the
second part of my problem, though. I am trying to establish a trust between
a 2000 and 2003 external domain. Not part of the same forest, although they
replicate DNS between each other (yet they don't have a two way trust). I've
established a trust from 2003, but when I go to 2000, I get the error:

the x.com domain cannot be contacted. If this domain is a Windows domain,
the trust cannot be set up until the domain is contacted. yada yada yada.

I have x.com in DNS, I have x.com in hosts, I have the DC for x.com in WINS.
I can ping the DC. I can ping the x.com

2003 isn't running WINS.

What the hell am I doing wrong?

As I know of Windows 2003 can use both DNS and NetBIOS names and
Windows 2000 can use only NetBIOS names... lets say... by design.. ;-)
