<<cross posted from microsoft.public.sqlserver.server>>

Environment: Windows 2003 Standard Edition SP1, SQL 2005 EE RTM (both
servers)


I am getting the following messages when I run this query:


select * from LINKEDSERVER.databasename.dbo.tablename


OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "LINKEDSERVER" returned
message "An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the
server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused
by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow
remote connections.".
Msg 782, Level 16, State 1, Line 0
SQL Network Interfaces: No credentials are available in the security
package
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "LINKEDSERVER" returned
message "Client unable to establish connection".
Msg 782, Level 16, State 1, Line 0
SQL Network Interfaces: No credentials are available in the security
package


LINKEDSERVER is set up as a SQL Server linked server., with no login
mapping, and connections will be made using the login's current
security context.


Both servers allow local and remote connections via TCP/IP, and Named
Pipes is disabled on both servers. Both servers are trusted for
delegation, and the service accounts for the MSSQLSERVER service on
both servers are also trusted for delegation.


We are auditing successful and failed logins, and are not seeing any
activity on the linked server.


Any help would be appreciated.
Randy
