Replication prob.

I am having a problem replicating between 2 servers using 1 distributor. I have server X and server Y.
Server X is a publisher, distributor, and supposedly a subscriber, while server Y is a subscriber and
supposed publisher (using Server X as a remote distributor). My logreader task (off server X since
it is the distributor) gives me the error message "Unable to connect to server Y". I was pretty sure it
is possible to publish to the same server that is your distributor am I wrong? If I am not wrong and
this scenario is possible any ideas on why it isn`t working and how to get it working?

Thanks for the help in advance

I have also encountered almost the same problem, where l have a server X as a publisher/ distributor, and Server Y as a subscriber. However, on initial syncronisation, the error reads `Unable to connect to server X. This seems strange as it seems to be saying that it is unable to connect to itself.
I have discovered that a table that should exist in the subscription database, `MSjob_commands_info`, is missing, and l wondered if the two problems are connected?

Any suggestions gratefully received.
Many Thanks
