CAN CONNECT ONE WAY TO SQL SERVER BUT NOT BACK

There is a Remote SQL server 2000 server that can connect (register
thru query analyzer or enterprise manager) with 3 remote Sql server
2000 servers without issue. When these 3 servers try and connect back
(thru query analyzer or enterprise manager) I get the "SQL Server does
not exist or access denied" error message.
I have confirmed with my network guys that the request is making it to
the server so the failure point is at the server (Windows 2003). the
firewall is turned off so I know that is not the issue.
Any insight would be very helpful.you may read the following kb for a possible resolution:
