Replication and Linked Server Problemes

Hi @.ll,
we have right now big problemes with our replication and linked servers to
oracle.
has anybody an idea what wrong?
if we use a select statement everything works fine, only if we use a update
statement on a table on the SQL Server we see the error.
Just for your info. we use JOIN over 2 tbl on the Linked Server Side.
the error message is :
Server: Msg 7391, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'MSDAORA'
was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'MSDAORA'
ITransactionJoin::JoinTransaction returned 0x8000d048
thanks

Klaus,
apart from the obvious check - is MSDTC started - have a look at these
