Linked Server problem

I have two SQL Servers running SQL 2000 SP4 and SP3 that are linked. I can
run a query from Server A on Server B but if I do it the other way I get an
error
Server: Msg 17, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
Why am I getting this error? I can see the Servers entry in Enterprise
Manager in the Linked servers container.I would like to add that this problem started when I moved eevrything from
Server Z to Server A (all system and user databases) and the old name of
server Z was not retained. Earlier the link between Server Z and Server B was
working fine in both the direstions. The sa login and the password is till
the same.

which I moved all the system and user databases from the old server? Thanks.

Change the name of the originating server in the field originating_server_id
on sysjobs table in msdb database to the new server because it still had the
name of the old server. I was not able to edit change job settings but after
the change I was able to.
Now I will also run sp_dropserver and sp_addserver, LOCAL
Is there anything else that I am forgetting that might cause a problem later
on? Thanks in advance.

Even after running these I get the following error when I try to parse a

DTS is on another server):

>|||So you have some query in a DTS ExecuteSQL task. If you take that query and run it from Query
Analyzer it executed OK. But executed from the ExecuteSQL task it fails. If so, you need to look at
the properties if the ExecuteSQL task. Is the servername correctly specified? Login attributes? You
might want to continue this discussion in a DTS group (I'm no DTS expert myself).
