Adding outlet Why is my GFCI receptacle tripping when I add another receptacle to GFIthe circuit?

I have 3 outletsreceptacles in my garage. One is a GFIGFCI which protects all 3 outlets. I want to connect a new outlet toreceptacle off the third outletreceptacle (end of run) on other side of wall, and have it protected by GFIGFCI. I connected black to black and white to white. But when I reset GFIthe GFCI, it won't hold/reset. When I disconnect the new outletreceptacle, GFIthe GFCI holds. I made sure black was attached to brass side, and white is attached to silver side. WHATWhat am I doing wrong?
