add a trusted domain

Hello,

I have a central local domain, servers W2003, AD, ....
We recently buy a company, equiped with a SBS2003, AD, ...

We are linked to this company via MPLS/SDSL.
But employee located at the company can't access ressource on our local
domain without relogin to our domain.

So, I'm looking to make a trust.

But from my local domain, when I try to add it, it say that the remote
domain can not be contacted.
In my local domain, I added a dns entry like "Name.local" (it's the name of
the remote AD) pointing to the SBS2003.

so, I can't ping name.local.

What should I do more to add this trust ?

Thx

You can't make trusts in SBS. I suggest you get W2003 for this office and
join them to your domain - the Transition Pack may be useful here. SBS is
not a good "branch office" solution.
