Replication Problem Please HELP ME

  • Hi ..

    I am unable to configure , because I am getting 2 server names like

    1) I connect Server using IP address then

    try to get the name using SELECT @@servername - I get PVK1

    But when i try to connect server using PVK1 (server name ) i am unable to connect

    2) I connect same Server using IP address then

    try to get the name using SELECT 'ServerName', SERVERPROPERTY('ServerName')

    I get JUST - PVK

    Here i want to configure replication , but it gives me error Use servername

    using SERVER 2000, Client Machine SQL SERVER 2005 , with XP Prof

  • Are the servers in the same domain?

    Also if you do a nslookup Servername from command prompt what do you get?

    Can you ping or telnet to the servers with the name? Something to do with the naming resolution of servers

  • Yeah, it sounds like a name resolution issue. As Roy suggested, check if the two servers are the same domain. If not, you may need to make an alias or use a hosts file for resolution to the IP so your server knows who PVK is.
