We have created a two way forest trust between two Windows 2003 forests.

Everything seems to be ok.

I want to give a user from the external forest access to a fileshare on my local pc(XP SP2).
I go to the security tab on my fileshare, click add, click "locations" but the new forest doesn't show up. It I type the information manually then I can add the user.

If I do this from a Windows 2003 server instead of my local pc, then the forest does show up.
I tried on a Windows 2000 server and the forest didn't show up.

Is this just a limitation of the operating systems or is something wrong?
