Replication HELP EMERGENCY

[dbawannab]

I am trying to replicate between two servers. I am pushing a subscription to the other server. Of course this has to write to a file on the Servers hard drive before the actual replication. (It's actually trying to write a shared drive on the server) I have checked the permissions all day and I keep getting the same thing; 'The process could not create file [path to file] the network name cannot be found' What should I check? I have checked the permissions on the drive all the way down to the folder and It hasnt helped. I have checked the host files to make sure the ip address is correct in the file. I dont understand the network name error because it's trying to write to itself. Is there anyone out there that can help me???? PLEASE????

I am using the NT domain account to start the sql agent. I had SQL Agent--> Properties and I have This Account selected and in there I am using this setup
Domain/NTuser
and password.

Does this help

My sql Service Account is using the System Account. Should I change this?
