Immediate Updating Subscriber not Queuing updates

Hey all,
I have a problem with replication that I was hoping someone might be able to
shed some light on. Heres the scenario.
Server A, setup as a publisher + distributor. A publication was created and
marked for transaction replication with immediate updating with queued as a
failover.
Server B is the only subscriber. I had to run sp_link_publication in order
to get it to work.
I can successfully replication changes from A - B, and B - A. If B goes
down, and comes back up, it will re-sync no problem. My problem is that when
A goes down, I am not getting anything saved into the queue. When I try to
do any updating, all I get is 'SQL Server does not exist, etc'. There are no
other triggers on the table.
Thoughts?
One more thing, this is SQL 2000 SP3 (.818)

|||you have to manually failover your subscriber from using immediate updating
to using queued updating. There is no automatic failover.
