Trouble authenticating against a different domain: "No network provideraccepted the given network path."

I have an application which can ideally log into the primary & backup
server. The servers are on different domains and have a default domain
setting. The application talks via IIS, and in each domain is an ID
named the same & has the same password, and is in the IIS configuration
under the user to use for communication.

On each domain, I can log into the application its own domain, but when
I try to tog into to the other domain, I get "No network provider
accepted the given network path." using domain\user which over-rides the
default

I can access the other server using \\<otherserver\<sharename> and there
is data flowing between the 2 servers, so communication IS happening,
just not authentication.

I found the following:
http://msmvps.com/blogs/nuoyan/archi.../07/18250.aspx

Based on that, I Looked at and tried
*Local security policy:Network security: LAN Manager authentication
level: Send LM & NTLM responses
* Turned on RPC Locater - both servers
* Enable File & printer sharing on network - ALL READY ON
* Workstation & server service - ALREADY RUNNING
* Windows Firewall service - NOT RUNNING

I did not reboot after making the change - and reverted back to the
original setting after testing.

Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated

Hello Alan,

Is a trust between the 2 domains created? With the primary and backup servers
you mean the one's the own domain i think?

Best regards

Each server resides in a large building with each building having its
own domain (and hundreds of computers in each building), I'd like to
assume that there is a trust - I can SEE the server and data flows
between the 2 servers...

Can you recommended a good/simple resource for trusts?

Hello Alan,

Start, run and type domain.msc This will open the console for configuration
of trust's. Here you can check it.

Best regards
