We are not utilizing WINS, so does that mean NETBIOS does not work across
different subnets? What about adding SRV record entries for the child
domain's shortname?

Resolution of a "domain" name at least in the shortened format you're discussing comes from Netbios. So where are the machines you're joining to the child domain getting their WINS info from, and does that location have the correct WINS information for your child domain?
Another work around for this is ensuring that your client's are looking in the correct DNS suffix space, which can typically be assigned through DHCP. The "domain name" value, in DHCP can be used set's the default DNS suffix search zone for clients, which should also help new clients to see the domain name by the "netbios" name of the domain.

We have a 2003 Active Directory with an empty forest root and a child domain. When trying to add a workstation to the child domain, we have to input the entire domain path (child.parent.harpercollege.edu) instead of just the child domain name (child). Is this normal? I thought we'd be able to just add the machine to the domain name (child).
Any thoughts?
