Trust between Server 2000 / 2003 failing

I am trying to establish a trust between Server 2000 domain and server 2003 domain {at 2k functional level} to migrate some accounts.

The trust is setup, but Validation from the 2k-domain fails with "Windows cannot find a PDC for the S2003-domain. Verify that the PDC is functioning and try again.   Validation from the 2003-domain is good.

I have setup both domain's DCs with each others DNS on the NIC.  I have also setup a WINS server on the 2000 domain and pointed both Domain's DCs to it.  {WINS does appear to be populating correctly}

On the 2000-domain DNS, I tried setting up the 2003-domain DNS as a secondary zone, but I get "The transfer of zone data from the master server failed".  I enabled zone transfers from any server on both DNS servers.

What else should I be looking at?   Many thanks in advance!

Any firewall between the 2 domains?
