Establishing forest trust error

[davy2k]

Dear All,
I am in the process of creating a 2-way trust between Windows 2003 R2 domain single forest (AD integrated DNS)= fqdn = abc.com

and

Windows 2008 server fqdn = def.com

I created stub zone on both DCs.
- On the Windows 2008 server:
I can resolve and ping the dc1.abc.com
when I run the command:
C:\> nltest /dsgetdc:abc.com /pdc
I get no errors

The issue I'm having are:
On the Windows 2003 R2 server:
- I can resolve the fqdn def.com but unable to ping the fqdn def.com
- when I run the command (using the fqdn):
C:\> nltest /dsgetdc:abc.com /pdc
DsGetDcName failed: Status 10022 0x2726 WSAEINVAL

However, when I run the command (using the netbios name)
C:\> nltest /dsgetdc:abc /pdc
DsGetDcName failed: Status 1355 0x54b ERROR_NO_SUCH_DOMAIN

Please let me know if any specific information is required

Your assistance is highly appreciated.

I will continue to scour the internet for a resolution.

Don't know about stub zones, but from what I recall you need to have forwarders configured in DNS to each others forest/domains DNS servers configured in order for each of the forests to "see" each other.
