A "No long servers are available" can indicate a misconfigured trust, DNS,
or NetBIOS. When one connects from one domain to a trusted domain's
resource, the authentication request will use pass-through authentication
from the connecting user's DC to the DC of the other domain. This is all
based on NetBIOS.

This could also be a browser service issue, since direct connections work
(UNC or mapped drives), but connecting through a browsed resource doesn't.

Are you using WINS oin both domains, and have a WINS replication partnership
between the WINS servers?

Any errors in the event logs on any of the DC?

Sorry but I fogot I had posted this one

I have two new domain controllers now that are the primary for each domain.
The are replicating WINS between themselves. The old domain controllers are
still here as backups. This is sporadic and only happens when access certain
member servers but it does happen though. I also have had multidomed what
are now secondary dcs. I am removing secondary nics today.
