Error 18452

Hi,
I am getting Login failed for user 'sa'. Reason: Not associated with a
trusted SQL Server connection. [SQLSTATE 28000] when try to run a RPC ca
ll
from one sql server 2000 to an other sql 2000. I have setup/configure the
remote server connection on both servers and they have the same sa password
and same domain ids for the sql server and sql agent accounts. I have no
problem to run the same RPC command in query analyzer. But I get this error
when I try to run the call within a sql job and the job is own by sa. Any
help would be great.This error is thrown when you try to connect to a SQL Server using a
"standard" SQL login (such as the sa account) but your SQL server is
configured to only accept Windows logins. To allow standard logins you
would need to to set up Mixed Mode security:
In enterprise manager:
Expand a server group.
Right-click a server, and then click Properties.
Click the Security tab.
Under Authentication, click SQL Server and Windows.

funny things is that I have no problem run this RPC on all remote servers
(within the same site) but having this problem when I try to run the RPC to
remote servers (out of state and out of USA). Also I don't have this problem
on SQL 7.0 environment, I can run RPC to any where (local site or remote
site). As I stated below, I can run the RPC call in Query Analyzer login as
SA but I having problem to run that call in the sql job.
Thanks,

server is created as well. Is it using sa login or NT authentication?
2. In enterprise manager -> Management->SQL Agent ->Properties->Connection
tab, try specifying sa account and with nt authentication. Does it now
execute successfully?
3. If job is not owned by sa does it run successfully - (try changing job
owner to a different account)?
