MSDTC Fails

SQL Server 2000 servers are running on two different servers on Windows 2003.
One is part of domain but the other one is not part of any domain.
MSDTC failed to communicate with error msg 7391.
Followed the instruction as mentioned in KB-329332, but still failed.
Followed the instruction as mentioned in KB-827805 but failed too. In
KB-827805, it only tells to add the registry with value name
"TurnOffRpcSecurity". Is it the only thing to do ?
OR both server must be run under the same domain.
Can any SQL Server MVP or Microsoft technical support persons help ?

DTC access are already enable by default.
When I put the two servers to the same domain, MSDTC works beautifully. But
why Windows 2003 has this restriction.
