| If you really wanted help I'm sure you would've posted the error messages you get or describe the problems you are having right? None os uf here are mind readers, me included. Are you sure it's not a network issue? What have you done to check this? I assume there are numerous firewalls between the two domains...are you sure data can get through?- LumbagoMy blog-> http://thefirstsql.com |

| Did you check your firewalls (both hardware and software/Windows) to ensure they allow the port you're trying to mirror through are open? Are both TCP/IP and named pipes enabled on both servers? Is the SQL Browser service running on both? |
