Question : Cannot access Linked Server from a workstation

Hello.  I can't access a linked server from a workstation using Enterprise Manager.  

I have a SQL2008 server and a SQL2000 server.  I have set the SQL2000 to be a linked server on the SQL2008 box and from the server console (Logged in as domain\administrator) I can access the SQL2000 tables and query against them just fine.  However, when I go to a workstation (also logged in as domain\administrator) that has the SQL2008 Enterprise Manager installed, I cannot access or query against the SQL2000 tables.  The local SQL2008 Enterprise Manager can view tables on the SQL2008 server just fine.

The error message when I use the "test connection" option on the linked SQL2000 server inside the local copy of Enterprise Manager is nice and vague.  It says that the login timeout has been exceeded and that perhaps the server is not configured for remote connections.  I'm pretty sure the server is though.  

Any thoughts?

Answer : Cannot access Linked Server from a workstation

I'm assuming this "@server=N'SQLSERVER'" has been changed to protect the guilty?

Just for grins either run the SSMS with Run As (Right-click icon --> Run As ... yada...)

or the other is to

from a command line:

X:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Binn

Sqlcmd  -S ServerName -E -d DBName -q

and then run some simple query. You need to use GO as the separator.
