Unable to access child domain DFS from parent domain


we have parent/child domain setup utilizing dfs domain namespaces in both parent , child domains.  have 2003/2008 dc , dfs servers.  parent domain, i'm unable access or manage child domain dfs.  receive "the namespace cannot queried.  rpc server unavailable." when add child domain to dfs management.  dfs working fine within each domain.  working child domain client access parent domain's dfs, not vice versa.  reason why not working?

hello danny,

is there firewall between parent , child domain? if so, received "the rpc server unavailable" erro message, please kindly check verify below dfs ports not blocked on any firewall between 2 domains.
