sql server replication:

I am trying to replicate over a dial-up connection a database between
a server running Sql Server 2000 on Windows 2000 server and two SQL
server 2000 personal edition on Windows XP pro.

For one site, the replication worked correclty. For the other one, the
replication process starts, but when trying to connect to the
subscriber (i.e Windows XP pro), after waiting 5 minutes the following
error message is displayed:

Merge Process could not retreive generation information at the
subscriber.

General Network error source <windows xp database> (data source) error
number 11.

Replication tries again automatically and same error is displayed.

All suggestions are welcome.

Best Regards

Use the slow link profile for this problem subscribe. Right click on the
agent (expand replication monitor, replication agents, merge agents, locate
your agent), select agent profiles, select the slow link profile, accept
defaults and restart it.

I just found the solution. When I entered my user name in the dial-up
connection box I entered it with the remote machine name eg: PC1\User1.
But when I checked the user in the "add user to operating system" module
in Windows XP, the machine name was dropped, only the user name
appeared. So when connecting, I entered only the user name, and
everything worked fine.

Thank you for your support.

Best Regards

Patrick
