sql server replication:

Hello All -

I have a scenario running using W2k and SQL Server 2000 and merge
replication.

One client has stopped updating. Yet if I attempt to reinitialize or
validate / resynchronize, no data is ever transferred to the client. The
publisher says status "no data needs to be merged", but no data is at the
subscriber.

What is the procedure to force a full initialization of data to the
subscriber?

Thanks,
bruce

right click on your publication, select properties, then go to the
subscriptions tab, select re-initialize. Then expand replication monitor,
expand replication agents, snapshot agents, right click on your snapshot
agent and start it. When it is completed, right click on your merge agent
and start it, if it has not already started.

Yes. I've tried that procedure several times. I've also tried to drop the
subscription from the distributer/publisher and re-add. There still isn't
any data at the subscriber.

This all occured it seemed when the IP address of the subscriber changed -
not the host name but the ip address. The host name of the subscriber is
the same.

Not sure what to do or to ask. Is there some table that stores information
about the subscribers? How can I remove all information about a subscriber
so that I may start fresh?
