No NT and above can only be a member of one domain at a time, if you need them to access resources in another domain then you will need to create a trust.
When you are the IT director, it's your job to make sure the IT works. If it does work they know already and if it doesn't, they don't want to hear your pathetic excuses.
Or if you just want to access data on the other domain's servers, you can map a drive to each server but you will have to have a seperate account in the other domain and you will have to specify the seperate credentials when you are mapping the drive. If you want seemless authentication, trusts is the way to go.

"Connect" and "be a member of" are two different things.
Can a PC be a member of 2 different domain at the same time? NO.
But, a PC can access shares and data on an unlimited number of domains. As long as a user has credentials to access said share or data, then they can access. Keep in mind, NO policies will download to the machine or user if they are not a member. You'll need to have other controls in place if you wish to have any kind of control over this PC.
I agree with TheLad, mapping is the way to go, and if your account name and password are the same in both domains then the connection will appear seamless after initial setup.
