Hey Rockie,

I tried FQDN, its the same.

I am able to connect through SSMS but when i try creating a replication, it fails.

Also i am able to ping the server name

Any...

I agree with you emlynar72, infact using ip had saved me lot of times.

However, creating a replication is troubling me now..

Hi lowell, its on a corporate domain ( not a workgroup )

with any server, connection thru IP address is successfull but thru server name it keeps failing
