sql server connect : Link to Server via Windows Authentication

I'm trying to link to a SQL Server 2000 server (A) that
has Windows only authentication from another SQL Server
2000 (B). I am a System Administrator on both boxes and
we use Active Directory.
When I try to link to A from B, I get an error:
Login failed for user '\null'. Reason: Not associated
with a trusted SQL Server connection.
Server A: Windows 5.2 (from SQL Scan) SQL 2000 SP3
Server B: Windows 5.2 (from SQL Scan) SQL 2000 SP3
Thanks for your help,
Linda

You'll need to create a domain account that has login
permissions to SQL Server "A" and the appropriate database
permissions as well. Use this account for the user login
credentials when you create the link.

Well, then everyone who used the linked server will be
using the new account created. I want people to only use
what thier domain account has permissions to do.
Any way to do this?

You can use delegation to accomplish this. You can find
information on this in books online under the topic:
Security Account Delegation
