q; Linked server from SQL2005 to SQL2000

Hi
I use the following SQL statements to create a link server. RemoteServerName
is an SQL2000 and I am executing this in another machine which is SQL2005.
Though the link server is created successfully, I am not able to se the
tables under it so could not query anything.
USE [master]
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @.server =
N'RemoteServerName\InstanceName', @.srvproduct=N'SQL Server'
EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @.server=N'RemoteServerName\InstanceName',
@.optname=N'collation compatible', @.optvalue=N'false'
EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @.server=N'RemoteServerName\InstanceName',
@.optname=N'data access', @.optvalue=N'true'
EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @.server=N'RemoteServerName\InstanceName',
@.optname=N'rpc',@.optvalue=N'false'
EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @.server=N'RemoteServerName\InstanceName',
@.optname=N'rpc out', @.optvalue=N'false'
EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @.server=N'RemoteServerName\InstanceName',
@.optname=N'connect timeout', @.optvalue=N'0'
EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @.server=N'RemoteServerName\InstanceName',
@.optname=N'collation name', @.optvalue=null
EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @.server=N'RemoteServerName\InstanceName',
@.optname=N'query timeout', @.optvalue=N'0'
EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @.server=N'RemoteServerName\InstanceName',
@.optname=N'use remote collation', @.optvalue=N'true'
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @.rmtsrvname =
N'RemoteServerName\InstanceName', @.locallogin = NULL , @.useself = N'False',
@.rmtuser = N'remoteUser', @.rmtpassword = N'remotePassword'

First of all , have you enabled remote connections on SQL Server 2005
server?
I did just testing on my machine and it works fine.
USE [master]

@.srvproduct=N'SQL Server'
