I have sql server 2000 running on windows 2000 server OS say machine A

From this server I need to insert records through a trigger onto another server running sql server. This remote server has windows 2003 OS lets call it machine B

I created a linked server to machine B on machine A.

When I run the insert query through the query analyzer it works fine. But when I run it in the trigger it just hangs. I figured out that since a trigger is a part of a transaction it is some problem with the msdtc on the remote server.

FYI - MSDTC is running on both machines. I have also given network distributed access for dcom on the remote server.

I still get the same problem.

Can you help me out here.

Thanks.
