Error 7391 running distributed transaction

When attempting to run a distributed transaction I get the following
error:
Server: Msg 7391, Level 16, State 1, Line 4
The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider
'SQLOLEDB' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: New transaction cannot enlist in
the specified transaction coordinator. ]
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'SQLOLEDB'
ITransactionJoin::JoinTransaction returned 0x8004d00a].
I have two servers.
ServerA
Windows 2003
SQL Server 2000 SP3a
MDAC 2.8 RTM
ServerB
Windows 2000
SQL Server 2000 SP3a
MDAC 2.8 RTM
When I open Query Analyzer on ServerA and execute the following
statement, I get the error.
begin distributed transaction
exec ServerB.master.dbo.sp_helpdb
I've already enabled network access for Component Services:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=329332
Didn't fix the issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
MarkMake sure that the DTC Service is running on both machines as well..
