I am getting error:

communication with the underlying transaction manager has failed

when I am trying to run my application from visual studio 2010. I have search on google for this problem, I have tried all possible solutions to resolve this error.

Here i have made change in my DTC properties.

-- Network DTC Access
-- Allow Inbound
-- Allow Outbound
-- Allow Remote Administrator
-- Allow Remote Clients
-- No Authentication Required
-- Enable XA Transaction
-- Enable SNA LU 6.2 Transaction

Please let me know, if anyone knows the solution for this problem.

Thanks Manoj Sitapara
