Windows 2003 SBS AD Replication issue

Hi,
I've two Windows 2003 SBS server in two different farm.
One is primary controller, the other is replicated.
Replica is not working anymore; I've checked firewall issue but the traffic is ok.
The error  I got seems to be related to DNS issue; anyway, I think the resolver is ok as I can successfully ping the two machine names each other.
The errors I got are:

active directory replication failed rpc server unavailable

Open in new window


and
Active Directory replication has failed because of a DNS or a NetBIOS lookup failure

Open in new window

Any suggestion?

The first thing I would check is to make sure that the RPC and RPC Locator services are running on both servers.  Go to START-->RUN-->type in services.msc--> scroll down to "Remote Procedure Call (RPC) and make sure it is STARTED.  Do the same for "Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator".

I am not sure what this statement means ..Coz two SBS can not be part of same domain ..Can you define your environment
