distributed transaction w 2 servers in different domains

Setting up distributed transaction between 2 servers from the same Windows
domain is no problem,
but when I try to do it with 2 servers from different domains i get error:
Server: Msg 7391, Level 16, State 1, Line 9
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].
Situation: both servers Windows 2000 Server SP4, SQL Server 2000 SP4
Updating data remotely works fine only when distributed transaction is not
used.
I believe that the problem is with security.
Should MSDTC and MSSQLServer start under some special accounts with special
rights?
Maybe the domains should trust one another?
Please help.
