Reducing physical transaction log file size.

I need some help to reduce the physical file size of a database transaction
log. I ran the shrink database option under the System Manager and was able
to shring the logical size of the log file, however, I would also like to
reduce the physical size of the file to free up disk space. I have tried to
run the DBCC Shrinkfile and DBCC shrinkdatabase commands but that does not
appear to be successfull. Can anybody help? I am running SQL 2000. Thanks
