Access two separate and different domains/active directories with same work station

Is there any way to connect work stations that are memebers on one
domain/active directory to another domain, that has a different name and
active directory?

I have one server that is W2K SBS (allows only one domain) and the other
server W2K Server (allows multiple domains - we have one!).

I have been trying Net Use and it will only work when computers are on the
same domain - correct?

You can access resources from multiple domains, it's just as if the
machines weren't part of a domain at all. You have to supply
credentials that exist on the target domain.

If you're using net use, you need to add /user:<domain>\<username> to
your commands.

I've gotta ask why the W2K box is in a seperate domain, why not put it in
the SBS domain and be done.
