Reinstalling MS DTC

Here I go for last time, I promise.
I uninstalled MS DTC (in an stupid attemp to avoid a distributed transaction
to start), by doing :
net stop MSDTC
MSDTC - uninstall
After some charitative aim told me what I wanted to do is not possible, I
decided to reinstall :
MSDTC -install
net start MSDTC
I can see the "Distributed Transaction Coordinator" item, in the service
manager, it is running for sure.
Also, the Services console shows it as "started".
But I still getting the message MSDTC on server 'myserver' is unavailable'.
I've repeated the operation a couple of times, to be sure (deinstall and
reinstall) and still not working.
Actually, I recall yesterday I was able to stop and restart MSDTC without
problem, several times, but I was just doing that : stop & restart.
Today it happens that I "uninstall" it and then it is not like before any
more.
I'm using an account with Administrator privilegies (Windows 2000 Advanced
Server / SQL Server 2000 Enterprise)
Is there something else I need to do to ? should I need to restart the SQL
Server ? SQL Agent ?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
