<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Tahoma><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Tahoma'>I have linked 2 SQL Servers (SQL1 and SQL2) using
sp_addlinkedserver. I used this sproc to link SQL1 to SQL2, then
SQL2 to SQL1.<br>
In Enterprise Mgr on SQL1 or SQL2, I can access the other server without a
problem. <br>
When I use Enterprise Mgr on my laptop, I cannot connect to either
server. I receive the following error: "Login failed for user
'(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.".<br>
I went into the properties of each linked server, and changed
"...connections will be made using this security context:" to a valid
login on each server. I still receive the above error, with the
login in place of (null).<br>
I've also tried using sp_addlinkedsrvlogin, but have not had much luck.</span></font></p>
