DNS across domains

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

I believe this is a DNS problem but not sure ....

I have Domain A and Domain B, Domain B is an external one-way trust, in that
Users in A have access to resources in B. When I add a user from A to a
resource in B, I can browse the AD users and computers to add the
permissions. When I close all dialog boxes, check the permissions all I get
is a SID number.

Domain B is not resolving the user names.

thanks
