Another reach-around which I found worked from a Windows Server 2000 client
application trying to talk to a Windows Server 2003 / SQL Server 2000 machine
was: change the Security Configuration of MSDTC from Mutual Authentication
to Caller or No authentication required. That would seem to open a security
hole, so maybe more detailed instructions can come from Microsoft on how to
configure this.
